Say you have a $50 GC at amazon.com. What do you spend it on?

Probably kids books.

Cookbooks on cheap meals, lol!
Any books really that go along with money saving. I got one on jean reconstruction (the book is cheaper than buying new clothes), cookbooks, gardening books, homesteading books...all inexpensive and save me $ in the long run.
My mom just gave me $100 and told me to specifically buy MYSELF something. So I bought 10 used books on Amazon for $101. Wooohooo!

Well, I placed 4 orders with Amazon yesterday. I have Amazon Prime and it is working out quite nicely for us. I like not having to drive 30 minutes to go buy something, and I love not paying sales tax.

I don't even know what I would buy. I need to get things out of the house, not back in it.

BTW, I have 2 Donvier yogurt makers and I love them. I have to make a double batch because the kids love it so much.

OK, rephrasing: if you have a $50 Amazon GC and you are going to use it FOR YOURSELF what do you buy?

Happy shopping!!

A really good knitting book with lots of hip patterns
As many of the "The Most evil ______ in history" books as I can afford
A decent, not "loosely translated and expounded upon" copy of the Tao Te Ching (every copy I own carries the bias of the translator and loses a lot of it's intended neutrality)

Any of the above are on my wishlist, hehe.

I'd buy books. Or diapers. But if it had to be for myself, it would be books.

Checking in for ideas too. I've been thinking how to use my credits as well. I have a huge Wish List of books that I"ve found over the years on Amazon but I'm such a library person that I just can't buy the books.

I bought a clearance wrap dress and two pairs of leggings.

I am clearly not so virtuous as you all.
