I was over at the Goodwill outlet today and found a couple of items - a nice Remington PF7300 shaver and a TI-30X IIS calculator. Everything there is sold by the pound, so today the total weight of my order was 0.40 lbs. Total price for these two items? A whopping 35 cents. I didn’t have any cash on me with the exception of two dimes I found in the street last night, so I had to whip out the debit card for this transaction. With the fees that they probably pay I wouldn’t be surprised if they lost money on me today...

35 cents? That’s a steal! And the bank gets to laugh at the transaction! A win- Win you have there my friend!

That has happened to me while purchasing scantrons. The owner/clerk decided to just give them to me for free as a result. Once I arrived back into my car I noticed that I had change in the cupholder, so I went back inside to pay.

Heck yeah it’s a steal. You used to take everything out of the cart and place it on the scale on the counter, but now they make you weigh everything in the cart. Their registers are set up for a certain tare weight, but I always make sure to get one of the carts that has some of the plastic on the handle or other part broken off, therefore I start with a lower tare.
I picked up another computer over there the other day. They’re really not supposed to sell them, but occasionally they make it out to the floor. The cashiers really don’t look at what they’re selling, so if you keep them hidden you can make the purchase. I paid around $12 for this Compaq machine powered by an AMD LE-1300. The power button is smashed but can be made to work. I’ll just gut it, reusing the memory, hard drive, optical drive and Windows 7 license elsewhere, and will probably just give away the rest. Although that one was a fine deal, it still doesn’t beat the MacBook Pro I found there last year. Less than $6 for a working notebook, one I still use almost daily.

Should’ve just winked at the cute cashier girl and asked for a date in exchange for a free scantron.

While I commend the OP on his fiduciary skill, I thought this post would’ve been about porn purchases showing up on your transaction history xD

Isn’t that why they invented those prepaid visa cards you find at the dollar store? :P

It was a 50 y/o guy, lol. This was at a standalone textbook store across the street from my old school.
If it was a girl, I might’ve.

Damn! You have a pretty great Goodwill. I was in my local thrift store the other day and the best thing I saw was a copy of Toy Story in French on VHS. I’m pretty sure it was 50 cents so It was a crap deal compared to your purchase. I still don’t know why anyone would buy French Toy Story on VHS.
