I have always loved Jeopardy!, and have recently decided to watch it everyday for a slice of "me time". Usually Marce has fallen asleep by then or is pretty relaxed anyway to where I can watch in peace. I rarely get a lot right, but sometimes I can sweep a catagory if it's one of my expertise subjects. Anyway today I thought I'd share one cause I thought it was interesting. The answer basically said that 80 billion dollars worth of these are sold a year, and companies love to sell them because about 8% of them are never redeemed. What are....gift cards?
I remember one Christmas giving my two older sisters Gap gift cards. My responsible sister used hers, my not so responsible sister lost hers. So...I could see how this is true in many different circumstances. I can tell you that I hardly ever receive gift cards, but when I do by golly, I use them! I never loose anything though, I'm very organized and on top of things that way. Shar says I'm OCD all the time, maybe I am but I view it as a good thing as I don't really know what OCD entails altogether.
Anyway, moral of the post: Use your gift cards! It's your money...or the money of the person who gave it to you. But, you get the point! Retailers make enough money!
P.S. Alex is good looking, I think. And Ken was so fun to watch. It was so entertaining with him on. I have to get footage of that someday...

Funny info on gift cards. Who knew? I actually have one on my dresser from the Chappells from Christmas for Chili's that I haven't used yet. We're just waiting for a good time to head into town with them to use it. I will definitely keep my eye on it though. We can't afford to miss out on a free dinner!
Hey Lexie!! I am glad you like the baby count down! :) If you click on my baby thing, it will take you to babyastrology.com, then you fill out your info and post it! :) It is pretty cool!The baby actually grows as time goes on!!
First off- I didn't "lose" that gift card. It was on my pile of presents in the living room, by my stocking, and then all the cousins came over for breakfast and "somehow" I couldn't find it later....you do the math. Or maybe its lost in that really ugly but comfy nap couch we used to have...somewhere....probably at the dump.
Ha Ha yeah actually now that I think about it, some lucky cousin probably got a Gap gift card that morning, hmmm. If it is in that nap couch then that is your fault but I bet it is not and maybe it was redeemed after all...
