I'd say the best deal I ever made was paying 20$ (That's euros) to take a sh*t in Italy. You have to pay to use a bathroom in many places in Europe unless you're a customer. I REALLY needed to go and I had no change on me, I also didn't have the time to be a 'customer' and earn access to the coveted bathroom that way. It was either going to be running down my leg or I'd have to cough up the dough. The guy outside the bathroom with the bowl full of money didn't know English so I couldn't divide up my 20$ and give him something less. Nor could I just reach into the bowl and exchange some myself since he'd think I was stealing. So, I threw the money in the bowl and ran into the washroom.

I savoured that poop and took my time. There's an indescribable feeling of bliss when your bowels evacuate from a state of red alert.

I got a beckon sail with socket pre IAS nerf for 45k gold when lowest for worse stats at the time was 1.8 mil. Hopefully your GF chooses this one caus it's short even if it makes no sense to her because it's less time spent blindfolded listening to charlie's story time.

Nothing too large, but I once got a shirt for a taco.

To start, I had the taco (I was about 17), a younger friend wanted the taco (about 15), and an older friend (about 23, and mountain bike champion Cameron Chambers nonetheless) was wearing an amazing short-sleeve plaid shirt, but not just any plaid; this used the colors of green, yellow, a lot of bright pink, some red, and a dose purple. This shirt was infamous in our group of friends, and much revered.

We were relaxing after an intense session of playing hacky-sack and watching a surfing documentary while drinking yerba mate tea and I had picked up a couple tacos at Taco Bell. The youngest kid was pretty hungry, and I had no problems sharing my food, but he right away mentioned "I wish I had a dollar to pay you for one of those", and before I could say that he could just have one, Cameron let the sack hit the ground (right away an oddity, as he's crazy good at hacky-sack), and said "Wait! I got this!", walked over to us, took off his shirt, and handed it to me while giving me a wink. I smiled, took off my shirt, put The Majestic One on, and gave the kid the taco. We resumed hacky-sack and tea-drinking, and I felt incredible, having just inherited The Shirt by way of tacos.

I hung on to the shirt another two years until I traded it to my younger brother in exchange for a two-pound burrito at 5:00 a.m. on the way back into town after a camping trip. (By camping I mean we went to a dried up riverbed five miles outside of town and played hacky-sack around a campfire while eating expired convenience store food provided by a friend who worked at one)

Best deal I ever made is how I got a CS:GO Key for 10$ and a little efforts

It all started at school when I heard a friend of a friend talk about how he got a CS:GO key but he plant on using it. Being a counter-strike source avid gamer, I went straight to the guy and asked him what he wanted in exchange for his key. He said 60$ or Dota 2 beta + 10$.

Problem is I don't have a dota 2 key. So I looked around on the forums for a key and asked friends and stuff. Then I see this guy on twitch.tv, NxVig or something, announcing that he's gonna do a giveaway of a dota key if he gets to 300 viewers. Then I think to myself, that's bullshit he just wants more viewers. Yet, I still watch and it was very boring watching him play LoL but he eventually gets to 300 and says hes gonna send the key to someone who added him in his friend list.
I GOT IT!!! I was so freaking happy and couldn't believe it.

So 2 days later I go to Max, the guy who owns cs:go and we do the trade later the night

I got a CS:GO key for 10$ when they go for 50-70$!!!
and i was like BANELINGS x 3

I was out looking for somewhere to buy video games the day Half-life 2 came out. And for PC, pretty much the only option in the small town where I lived was called Staples They are primarily an office supplies store, but they have a bargain bin for old games and flight simulators and stuff.

Incredibly, someone who worked there had put a brand new copy with the bargain bin games (It was beside games like Leisure Suit Larry+ Show Spoiler +
[image loading]
and Space Quest IV+ Show Spoiler +
[image loading]
)

With no question, the clerk ran it up as only $5.99!! The day it came out! I saved almost 90% because of that blunder. It wasn't the most money I've ever saved, but it was awesome since I had worked hard shoveling driveways all winter (as a kid in Canada) and only had $65 to buy it with.


As an aside, great blog. I always laugh.

The best deal I've ever gotten was when TOMS sent me a 50 dollar gift card toward sunglasses. I tried to graciously give it to my sisters boyfriend expecting nothing but friendship in return but he must have accidentally dropped back in my backpack when i wasn't looking. Hmph.

Sounds like a dick. You should tell your sister to dump his ass.

Why is this not on featured? a light of joy comes to my eyes when i see a blog made by king charlie, and to answer your question,i used to get lots of money from my grandparents because i would get paid money for my grades i got like 30 for each A and 25 for a B etc.

But eventually i was making too much bank studying and they kinda had to lower it more and by the time i got into sophomore year they just stopped because i made something like 1k and i kinda felt bad. But overall it was nice i got an xbox and a bunch of video games and i also was like addicted to weed at the time lol. But it kinda motivated me to do better so it was a win win for me!


Thank you brother. A light of joy comes into my eyes when I see you comment.

I see what you did there.

I get some pretty good deals on clothes. One time I got a pair of Lucky jeans (retail between $100-$150) for $20. They used to sell these jeans for a discount at a store called the Buckle. Then they had a sale on their sale items. That was a good day.



:D at least someone got it...

Heyhey I think most of us got it but didn't feel like mentioning it, since it's overall very well tied-in with the general hilarity of the OP~
