What would you buy...

If you had $500 to spend on amazon?

Re: What would you buy...

  • Like if I won a $500 GC or something? Hmmmmm. I'd want to buy $500 worth of diapers. That should be enough to get me through B being potty-trained lol.

    I really want a new, fancy food processor so I'd definitely buy that. What else, I'm not sure.

    Well they buy back textbooks and I have so many laying around that I entered them in yesterday to discover they'd pay me almost $500 in giftcards for them. I feel torn on what to get - I've been lusting after the dyson animal vacuum (which is right around 500) or get several smaller things that we need - like a food processor, etc. or we could put it towards wedding stuff. I think they sell the grape juice for making wine, which will be our favors and other. So many options!

  • I'd probably blow it all on clothes, I'm on a serious clothes shopping kick lately

  • I'm no help. At this point, I'd probably do something lame and buy the rest of my Christmas presents with it.

    Other than that, I need printer ink. I'd probably actually spend it as I needed it. Laaaaaaaame. 

    You get something fun for you, DL. But not until after Christmas. Those are the rules.

    I agree with everything that muddled said. You should listen to her. -ESDReturns

    I got my Dyson Animal on woot for under $300. Just a thought.

  • The last time I got an Amazon gift card for Christmas, I spent it on my H's birthday present.  Also lame.

    If you're planning a wedding I'd wait to use it until afterwards and buy anything you registered for and really really wanted but didn't get.  For example, I would use it to buy a canning set because I registered for one but apparently no one thought I would actually use it and so I did not get it.

    I wish I knew about this buying textbooks thing before I bought Christmas presents, since the majority of my presents I bought on Amazon. Oh well - I will have to find something, after the holiday of course! :)

  • Does Amazon sell iPads?  If so, I'd buy one of those.
