  • I spent it on my mommy!

    "After paying $250.00 to Bank of America CC bill, I spent the weekend with my mother in Philly. We went on a food tour of the Reading Terminal Market, tasted great wines at a wine tasting, and took my mother to a 5 course dinner on a great boat called Moshalu! Dinner took a lot of my stimulus check away. But as MasterCard would say, it was priceless... spending the weekend with my mother on mother's day!"

  • "I am using my stimulus check to pay for my chicken coop and five chickens (for eggs!) - this, in addition to my veggie garden, will hopefully help me become more self sufficient as the value of the dollar drops and food becomes more expensive."
