Stockpiling Gifts.

Welcome to the notorious Sexual Sundays!
For your consideration: Stockpiling Gifts.
Father’s Day just happens to fall on a Sexual Sundays day. Cool! We just so happen to have a quick money saving tip for holidays like today.
What’s interesting is that MoneyKing’s father isn’t really the type of dad to get or receive gifts. MoneyKing is a bit more sentimental towards his father, so he feels like it’s a nice gesture to get his dad something on father’s day. Maybe MoneyKing’s wrong. Regardless, as all of our loyal readers know, MoneyKing is one of The Money Kings. In fact, MoneyKing is the cheapest of them all. And, yes, we’re saying “cheap” here, because that’s the way most people perceive MoneyKing. For the record, MoneyKing perceived most people right back as materialistic–and he can prove it, of course.
Just look at the American economy . . .
The President: “Just keep spending.”
People: “We need to keep our economy stimulated.”
The President: “Here’s $300. Go spend it on something. We don’t care what . . .”
Nice existence we’re living here.
Maybe some of the people that think MoneyKing is so damn cheap should get some friends from another country somewhere where they still have to know how to MAKE things and GROW things in order to survive vs. relying on the new equivalent of slavery. It’s amazing what a few people from Brazil, Europe or Vietnam can tell you about human life on the other side of the oceans.
Anyway, we have to spend money on all these holidays, right? Instead of just telling your father you love him and maybe helping him out around the house or something. Buying him a $25 gift certificate to Wal-Mart will suffice.
If you’re lucky, we guess, to have a father that likes things (like antiques, for example) that he might not be able to or have the desire to search for you can do something to save yourself time and money. The Money Kings’ tip is:
Stockpile Gifts.
So, if your dad likes antique books from the 20s. Go shopping. Buy enough of those books for 5 Father’s Days and keep a hold of them. Trickle them out over the years. You’ll save a ton of time and money on gas!
Good luck out there.

My mom does this with clothes. Often times they go out of style by the time I get them or my style changes and I no longer like them. She also did this when I was growing up and I would outgrow before I got them. This doesn’t always work, especially for kids.

white t-shirts, yes. Nehru-collared shirts, no!
I thinks dads especially would have no problem with your suggestions.
‘Buy enough of those books for 5 Father’s Days and keep a hold of them. Trickle them out over the years.’ goos idea for those organized people among us.
