Aren't Gift Cards Great?

I was finally able to use my Matercard $25  gift card I had been trying to use for days at different locations and it wasn't being accepted. After one more call to customer service, they told me to get a gift card for my gift card and that would work- so I did, and it did! I was able to get us a projection clock radio for $20 plus the taxes, from Walmart. This was something we had been talking about for a while.The other clock radio we had was on the headboard and everytime we woke up to see what time it was, we had to actually  get up and look. It is so much nicer to have the time displayed on the wall. We are like kids with a new toy!Ha ha.
Mom took the old one we had...so we kept it in the family.
Yesterday's shop I also was able to use a $10 gift card I had been saving, and used that towards groceries, and had another totally free, pizza coupon. The coupon was for a pizza up to the value of $11. I looked at my reciept afterwards and saw that the cashier gave me the full $11.00 off my total, even the pizza was only $7. Bonus!
