The best advice I can offer on Mother’s Day? Demonstrate some creativity and savvy! Show mom that she didn’t raise a fool!
- Get up early on Monday (for you unemployed suckers, that’s tomorrow, May 12th, 2008).
- Arrive at Target at 8AM when the store opens.
- Buy a 50% off Mother’s Day card with the remaining $2 from your stimulus check.
- Stick the card in a drawer until May 10th, 2009.
- Voilà! You have your Mother’s Day card all set for next year
This plan is awesome, yo. Here’s why.
- Mom will love this plan because you demonstrated frugality (50% off sale) and thoughtfulness (buying the card a year in advance).
- Target will love this plan because there’s a 97% chance you’ll forget that you bought the card and then buy another one. (Not that I’m speaking from experience or anything.)
- The government will love this plan because you’re spending money now (& possibly respending money, next year) and saving us from an economic recession.
Any other advice for Mother’s Day? The comments are open.
