A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Banter Hall Take another guess!

Okay, tomorrow I go to the outlets....I'll have about $550--which, with me being the bargain queen I can get a TON of stuff for that. Last year I had the same amount and if you all remember I got lots. I've been saving since Christmas for this yearly trip.

Well here's my proposition. Something for fun.....Why don't you all take a guess at how many total items I will come home with, with that much money on me. Tomorrow when I'm out I'll buy a small general prize that the winner will get....Nothing huge, but it'll be better than nothing right? Just a little fun, and you all know that I'll at least be buying ONE thing now.

So just whoever is closest.......

If two people or more guess the same amount then I'll have a my dad flip a coin to see who wins..... This isn't a GH event...just something I'd like to do for someone, and I thought it might bring a little fun to the forum today and tomorrow while I'm out.

Carol--44
Tamara--36
Glenda--45
Jessica--56
Nana--60
Shirley--170
Diane--215
Joclyn--46
Jayhawk(Glenda)--73
Patunia -- 39
Kenny -- 75
Suzydaze -- 110

OK loz---knowing you are the bargain hunter--i say 44 items.

This game implys you will not be bringing money home, right???

I never bring money home Carol.....I spend it all.....

I say 36 items....

I guess 45 items...enjoy your shopping.

My guess is 56.

loz, My guess is 60 items.... have fun shopping.
Nana

Thank you!

Since it's my actual BD tomorrow I have a plan.

When I get to the checkout and the person asks how I am, I'm going to say great! It's my BD today, does that mean I get a discount(joking around with them)....Hey I figure it can't hurt....some of them may pity me and give me a discount right? You never know....

Doesn't hurt to ask thats for sure... Happy Birthday by the way....
Nana

Thank you.

I've been printing off coupons for different stores down there today too!

Lynne, I have two different Kirkland ones....one for $5 off $25 or more, and one for 20 percent off one item.

It says only one coupon per customer per day....BUT they change shifts while we are there.....so we go in there first...and then we go in there last....so I'll use both.

I also have one for Bed Bath & Beyond, for $10 off your purchase of $30 or more.

2 Liz Claiborne 20 percent off coupons and 2, 15 percent off coupons.

Loz, I know how you can get a lot of stuff for very little, so I am going to guess HIGH......170...!!!

You never know! I guess we'll find out. By the time we leave we get VERY creative with our car packing.....Mom said she wanted new pillows, I said they are too big and take up too much room, she said if I have to I'll sit on them.

We usually have stuff packed up to the ceiling in the back of the car, and on half of the back seat....

She could even put them on the floor and use them for a foot rest, if she had to, 'cause she might get something else she needs to sit on!!

550$?? Geeeeeeeees I'm with Shirley the Number has to be high Shirley said 170 I'll say 171,, JUUUUUUUUUUUST Teasing SHirls,!!

Seriously I'm going to say,,.. 215 items!!

What is the prize for guessing the right number of items? :wink:

Well whoever wins will get a prize......but if you get it right on the money then maybe I'll throw something else in there. :wink:

I was joking. Loz. I just want you to blow your wad and come home happy with your purchases.

Ah, but I like to give, it's my most favorite of all.....maybe if someone guesses right I'll throw in a few full sized Avon products out of my goody bag to go with the prize. Exciting huh?

BTW Tina, do you have a guess?

Diane!! Wow!! I was going to go even higher than I did!! More like what you did!!.....You might win! Can I go higher Loz??!! Just kidding.....but good guess Diane!! Wouldn't suprise me!

73  The rest who haven't guessed yet can just not bother because I have the winning number.

Even though I'll be gone early tomorrow you all can still guess....Guessing with officially stop at 5pm tomorrow-and I should be home around 6pm.

39

I say 75

110

I hope Loz remembers she can only buy 36 items so that her mother has room for those pillows

I'm guessing 91 because that is loz's birthday added up - 4+11+76!

I'm so glad you got coupons to bring with you, especially to Kirklands as I know that is one of your favorite stores! Can't wait to see what you got - I will have to wait til later tonight, as I am taking Amy prom dress shopping after school - not my idea of fun times! We started yesterday and have 1 dress on hold in a store as they are not returnable.

Happy birthday again, loz!

nah tamara i think there is room for 44 items---

Loz!!! Are you home yet???? Got the car unpacked yet???

Hope you take pictures of THAT!!!

Shirley you mean does she have the U haul unpacked She'd need one for 215 items!!

Home and unpacked, it was a really nice day!

I'm at moms right now though, going to have some pizza and cake and then I'll go back and count my stuff up.....I got several things for the winner today!

Glad you're home Loz!!!

No, no, Diane....that's 170!!

Shirley!

I just counted and I'm surrounded by STUFF! Some of you were way off! I'm still a bargain shopper but I tend to treat myself just a little more on my birthday and buy things that I normally wouldn't----although most of it has to be on sale or clearance. I picked up a purse that was $49.99, normally $129.99 and I ALMOST bought it, it's my one true regret of the day---that I didn't splurge on it.

And the winner is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I told you to get that purse/by the way i am sending you my dr bill to get my back alined lol. lord have mercy you buy heavier and heavier every year.lmao
I had a blast twit. HAPPY B DAY AGAIN

I :ding: you my bestest friend...............

You like carrying my heavy stuff.

Wow Loz! Diane and I were WAY off!!!

I'm so glad that we all helped you continue on and made your day a good one!!!

A good day for you, Loz. I am so happy for you.

Thank you! Mel bought me a HUGE kneeling pad for gardening today. From Bed, Bath, and Beyond. It's GIGANTIC and really jelly like. I got a new welcome mat for the front door, a heavy rubber one and it's almost the same size as that! It's one of my favorite things I got today and I bought a lot of great stuff.....

I got my spice rack! It's the kind that you can adjust a little meter on each one and when you push a button it puts out a certain amount...like 1/4 tsp, etc. It can mount under the cabinet, and it was empty of spices, but that's ok. I picked out some of the ones I use the most.....half of the spices in a spice rack you buy, I have no clue what you use the spices for.
