WHY?

Ok so I've been asked why I would buy things that are not useful to me. Well Some things are money makers. For instance I purchased a box of Just For Men Touch of Gray hair dye (not useful to me at all) BUT I payed $7.99, got $7.99 in ECB and found a rebate to receive $8.00. SO I made $8.00 from that transaction. I plan on donating it to my local senior center. Here are 2 scenarios on when its a deal to buy say Soy Joy bars even if you may not like them.

So if you really want to spend an extra $2.44 just so you don't bring home something that is not useful to you than go for it. But I'm here to save you $$. Just donate whatever you don't want to your local church, food pantry or senior center.
