Help Me spend money

Ok, here's what's up; I got a $50 gift certificate to Best Buy. I'm really not a big spender, even in computer parts. I usually only buy what's necessary, and at the moment I feel like I don't really need anything in particular. But I got that certificate and I don't really wanna see it sitting there in my wallet for ever either. What should I buy? Give me some ideas peeps, but I really don't wanna spend much more than that $50 in the gift certificate.

or movies. or games.

well you could send it to me, I could use some ink.

Are you a college student? What about a good whiteboard and some dry eraser markers. I have one myself and i find it very useful for college classes.

What about getting some more ink for your printer for when it runs out?

Better yet why not just take a 1/2 hour or so and browse around best buy and see what strikes your fancy and then buy it up.

thanks for the suggestions so far

.

I don't really buy music cd's, or movies. I am really not a gamer, but there is one game I'd like to buy, 1503 A.d. the new world, but then again I feel guilty spending $39 on a computer game..... :\

Even with the gift certificate, the ink at B.B. is still too much; as in I probably can get more out of that certificate buying a different object than ink. Actually, almost everything I'd buy is more expensive at B.B. than at stores like Newegg, for example.....see...that's kind off where my problem is.

I'll probably take your advice Neo and just go to B.B. and just walk around and see what catches my attention.

I'd do the walk about myself.I would prolly buy a couple small things,instead of one big one,but that's just the way I am

Hey, what a coincidence, Bev. I actually got a $25 gift card from AMEX, I guess for being a cardholder.

I'm just waiting til there's a good sale on something that I will be able to get for free. I.e. $25 or less on the item's sale price.

Including shipping, Newegg is still significantly cheaper?
