Should I feel bad about using a gift card like this?

My sister gave me one of those American Express gift cards for my birthday.

Today, I used it to buy deodorant (No, not the whole value of the card!).

Should I have saved the gift card for something more "special"?

Got two of those for Christmas, spent them on: Pizza flavored Pringles, condoms, Guinness, chloroform, and paper plates.

Think we're good.

You will now, for the rest of your life, have to spell every word you ever post online, without any errors whatsoever.

No, use it for what you need it for. It doesn't have to be "For fun". You can think about it this way, the money you saved using the giftcard, you can use that for fun later on if you want/can.

This thread has taken a turn for the worse (but is much more interesting).

I'm more curious about the paper plates... I mean sure he's getting pringles, but come on. If he's not getting Styrofoam cups for the Guinness, then why bother with plates for the pringles!

Hmm... I should really try searching for that shopping list thread that was posted here a while back. Coming up with the best 3 items to buy at a store.... :laugh: Hilarity ensued.
