Who says they can’t be bought?
March 16th, 2006 @ 12:00 pm

I decided to go baby clothes shopping on my lunch break. I had heard about a sale that I just needed to check out.

I (semi) scored and got a little sleeper for $4.00. I was feeling pretty good about my purchase. I mean, you can’t go wrong with that. (Thinking about it now, I should have bought the whole store up and had a stash for future baby shower gifts.)

On my way back to work Washington Mutual Bank was on the street handing out free money. You heard me right, free money.

I took some. Of course.

When I got back into the office and looked to see how much they gave me, I found a crisp $2.00 bill looking back at me.

So pretty much that $4.00 sleeper was only $2.00.

That rules.

    You are so thrifty! (And why was WAMU giving away money, and not to me?)

    Did the bill have “Washington Mutual Bank” printed somewhere on it? ‘Cuz that’s the only reason I can think of to give out free money.

    Are you registered online anywhere? I’d love to send a gift for the baby.

    I heart WaMu. But apparently our branches aren’t nearly as hip on the East side as yours on the West side. Those hosers.

    Free money!?!

    I didn’t think I would ever see those two words in the same sentence!

    That’s nice and all but you should have taken more money! :-)
