Man theres nothing you can do about that popcorn. Everything else theres ways around.

02-01-2010, 11:54 PM

Yeah you can't really pop your own popcorn. I'm not a huge fan of popcorn anyway but my wife likes it. I go to Walmart and buy candy for $1.00 there and have her put the candy in her purse when we go in to the movies, we've snuck drinks in there, beer, whatever. Just get your girl one of those big purses that can hold a ton of stuff and load it up Feb 1 - America

They should but Gamestop on that list cuz u can buy a game brand new for 59.99, go back the next day they buy it back for 35 that's at the most and then turn around and sell the same game for 54.99, and always ask do u want a use one, that some bulls**t, but ay, cant knock the hustle

gotta get swizzed before u get there with them prices

Damn, ya'll lost with the text book prices. That's why I always ask my professor if buying a lower edition makes a difference (which 98% of the time doesn't). The only books that are truly expensive are the books written by the actual professor. There's no way around that unless you buy it used.
