So i went to a focus group purely to provide feedback, now i have a 75 dollar giftcard which i have to select and withdraw but im not sure what to put the money towards? my older brother also got one. Yes i live with parents so most of my living needs are already covered.
What would be the smart thing to do here? what would you suggest and why so?
You must log in or register to comment.
if your into coffee, a cheap carafe or french press is really good. depends what you want to use it on?
$75 might get you a power washer or a lawn mower, maybe a snowblower depending on your area. Could make that money back real quick if you have a little charisma.

One gallon of gas.
Invest it.
Use it for whatever will bring you the most pleasure.
Safe bet is corn
Who is that in the image? whats the story behind this image?
It’s probably a hunter leaving bait for deer or something. Hence the orange getup.
That’s a man that used to have $75. Now he has corn.
I’d be rolling in that shit like I was Scrooge McDuck.
If you’re from the Midwest, that’s how you get cornbred.

Buy as many stick on googly eyes as you can and put them on everything you see

We have a winner!
How to wisely use $75.
Step 1) Send it to me.
There is no step 2.
Whatever you spend it on, may I make a suggestion, if you have a little extra money yourself? Spend the gift card money, yes: buy something you’ll enjoy, share that joy with the people who got it for you, let them see how happy they’ve made you.
Then take the card that the giftcard came in, put in $75 cash, and put it in a special place. Do that every time someone gives you money or a giftcard. As I’ve gotten older, a lot of the people in my life have died, gotten ill, or moved away. Sometimes, when I’m feeling sad or depressed, I’ll go to my little drawer of cards and pull one out at random. I’ll re-read the message, and think about the person and the love that we shared at that time, and I’ll take the money and do something special for myself, to cheer myself up a bit.
Then sometime in the next few days, I’ll get the same amount of cash from the bank, put it in the envelope, and replace it in my stash: the caring we felt for each other at that time was true (regardless of how things eventually turned out), so the cards give me a little emotional boost and the cash lets me do something for myself that I’d normally not spend money on. It helps me feel better, even if only for a little time.
[I’ll also be honest and say that sometimes I’ve run out of money, and something will twinge and I’ll remember I have this little stash of cash, and having that has helped me get through some slightly tough times. But I always put the money back in the cards when I can afford it.]
That’s really beautiful.
In the humble words of Bender B Rodriguez, you could buy one 75.00 hookerbot or seventy-five 1.00 hookerbots.
Food bank?
A nice butt plug ☺️
To be fair, good silicone stuff basically lasts forever. BIFL butt plug time?
Oxballs and Squarepeg Toys make some high quality silicone toys. Njoy does stainless steel, pricey but worth it. I just bought a couple of glass ones from Luscious playthings; well made with high quality glass.
If you (or your parents) like to cook, you could get some choice steaks (or other high-end ingredients) and make a nice meal that the whole family can enjoy.
Could also get a nice game controller if you’re into video games. Most first-party controllers seem to cost about $70-$80 these days.
I dunno what the “smart” thing to do with $75 would be; $75 isn’t a whole lot of money in the grand scheme of things so investing it wouldn’t exactly pay dividends any time soon. Maybe buy 1GB of DDR5 RAM and in a year it might be worth $75,000 if the market continues its current trend.
Classic Lemmy answer. RAM and steaks.

That’s hilarious because this saver was gonna say, “Chickpeas. Lots of chickpeas.”
Give it to your parents for taking good care of you.
