Yes, and they are very tasty. You can also buy grilled chicken breasts with no trans fat for a buck each.

bet it all on red

In my family the number one gift I get is money. I love it because It’s alot better then shit you dont want or need. Ofcourse this presents a problem, what do I spend it on. I’ve been thinking about it for a while but want some feedback.

  1. Biotest Supplements - I could afford alot of supplements this week. I’m not a huge fan of taking alot of stuff (Protein, BCAA, Fishoil and Creatine) which I already have. I could try some Alpha Male, Surge, Metabolic Drive etc. but I dont know if I want to step up to the next level of using supplements.

2)I could update my McAfee Virus thing that just poped up on my screen. Yea, I’ll probubly end up doing that anyway.

3)Spend it all on my g/f and myself 1 day/night out in NYC. Unless I’m going to a mets/yankees or a Giants game I dont really think its worth it, making my gf happy isnt top of my list right now.

4)Well suprise suprise I didnt get my proweler, not even an Econoprowler! I could buy one myself but storage is an issue…don’t think leaving it outside or in the bed of my truck is a good idea, do you?

5)Beers, Stripers, Pizza and Hot wings. My personal favorite. *Pizza was edited in, whats beer stripers and hotwings without pizza??

  1. I need a new belt. Thats only 75 bucks at EliteFTS so I’ll prob buy it anyway and that won’t cover all of the cash I gots.

  2. Save it. …

8)Stuff that will ruin my life. PS3/ Wii/other entertaining stuff that requires me to sit on my ass for long periods of time. I already have a 360 that broke, greaest thing thats ever happened to me (not really). So now I have more time for productive stuff, like work and the gym. The 360 is under warranty and I’ll get it fixed eventually just holding off for a bit so I really dont think I need a PS3 or a WII.

  1. Pay my Credit Card Bill. This I’ll be doing anyway. However, I could take a big chunk outta the bill with the Christmas money.

  2. Other…Suggestions Welcomed.

Thanks for reading. Merry Christmas everyone.[/quote]

Hi, I’m new to posting. I think #1 is a must. #2 you can download at cnet.com for free. #9 supercedes #3 and I have no suggestions for #5 since you have #3.

Hope this helps :slight_smile:

Anna, #3 and #5 are mutually exclusive. Yes some must be spent on #3 but there’s no way that should replaice #5

You need to read more AD articles to fully understand it.

B-3 - I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, you think just like I do.

OP, a cheque will be fine.

If you have a 360, there’s no reason to get a PS3…unless you plan on convting over to blu-ray for your DVDs. The games are pretty much the same on both systems, aside from a few exclusives. I say get the 360 fixed and maybe pick up a game. Wii is fun, but it seems that the novelty wears off quickly for a lot of people after a few weeks…add to the fact that Nintendo hasn’t really released a whole lot of “must-buy” games for the system yet.

There’s nothing that says you have to run out and spend all of the money right away. Why not just hold onto it and then when you see something that catches your eye, use the money to purchase the item?

Oh, and you can always give a small amount to charity. One of the coolest gifts I received this year was a $75 gift card to use at Network for Good, an online site that allows you to donate to thousands of charities around the world.
