That’s just weird. You’re an adult, get a decent dress shirt for occasions when you have to dress up. Your friends probably have some they can just give you.

what if we have no friends

It’s the holidays. Someone in the secret santa thread would probably be nice enough to send one.

At the store I used to work at, we had these cards that we use for store credit. They work the exact same way as a traditional gift card. Only difference is, it says "EXCHANGE" across the front. Anyway, last year around Christmas time, I had a dude come up to me to ask to turn that card into a gift card. I told him I can't do that and it works the same way as a gift card anyway. He says he doesn't want it saying "EXCHANGE" on the card. I come to realize this dude plans on gifting store credit as a gift card.

Buy dress shirts for weddings at Macy's then return them the day after.

Do you at least dry clean the shirt first?

 

[jaymosenvied]

Bought a Christmas sweater for our holiday dinner tomorrow. Gonna return that joint right after I’m done too.

 

[Mr Dink]

No way I'm paying for dry cleaning when they just gonna damage it out anyway.

 

[Mr Dink]

Hang dry clothes to save electricity.

Hang dry clothes to save electricity.

Im surprised you didn't say
"Take hung clothes from neighbors to save on clothing expenses."

 

[thunderchunk69]

I wouldn't do half the things here, but it's good to see people are thinking!

And the targeted ads are always coupons when I browse this thread lmao

 

[Mr Dink]

What do you think of using a coupon on a date? My manager was on a 2nd date with this girl and decided on a restaurant cuz he had a BOGO coupon.

 

[SupremeBeing5]

Drive old car even though I can afford a new used one. I just don’t care anymore.

 

[Naruto]

Tell the girl about this sweet coupon you got before hand and see if they wanna try the spot

 

[sammy863dade]

no it doesn't.

If any of all are ever in collections, the first thing to do is to verify the debt. Send a letter thru certified mail and wait for a response (certified from them) if not...you can always dispute it on your credit report.

i got a debt collector trying to collect on something that never happen

not sure if GameFly is still working but I would tell them I never received the disc for game when I actually did and they would send a second disk. So I would keep one for myself and end the 30 day trial. Always had NBA2K and Madden for free for a couple years.

 

[marikomorose]

I use to switch my car speakers out ever 30 days and get a new set from wal mart. I did tell them they were defective though.

I never spend money on music subscription plans, just go on Groupon and re-up on Pandora offers for 3 months free, just finish my 6 month apple music last month.

 

[shogun]

Order hamburgers then add cheese when I get home.

That’s wild lol. Just go to H&M and get one of the fitted easy iron button downs. They’re $15 and I’ve had people compliment me on them because they thought it was some designer shirt. I’ve had some of these for like 4 years and they’re still holding up great. They always have sales and coupons too. Another option is thrift stores. I can’t even tell you the amount of Ralph Lauren button downs I’ve seen when I used to go thrifting. They looked brand new and would be like $5 or $6. I’ve picked up a few.

The garage at my job charges $15 per day (or $200 a month) to park. Instead, I park at a park 4 blocks down the street and just walk to work. One day, I was running late to work so I decided to park at the garage. The machine wasn't taking my parking ticket, so I pressed the button to talk to the security and told them it wasn't working. The person on the other end just said "okay" and raised the gate for me. I've been walking around the building trying to memorize the securities' shifts so I can park at the garage as much as I can for free while getting somebody different each time.

I refuse to order takeout at places like Cheesecake Factory, Olive Garden, Red Robin, any Mexican restaurant that gives unlimited bread, chips, fries, etc. because you lose out on that stuff when you order it for takeout. My wife loves eating at the Cheesecake Factory. Since restaurants are only allowing takeout, I still refuse to order takeout there since I'd rather pay for the unlimited bread when I eat in.

I make sure to get some extra bread and get that to go before I leave, too.
