They had the Best hamburgers and floats in the country according to this kid :p Another story: I remember spending my allowance on something at Thrify's, looked down on the floor at the cash register and saw a $20 :wideyed::wideyed: That was More money than I had in 6 months. My parents made sure I told the clerk and they put it in the lost and found :eek: I had to wait 30 days to see if someone claimed it, LONGEST month of my Life.:p I managed to get to keep it, but my parents made me start a savings account with half and I couldn't spend more than $2 at any point till the other $10 was gone. I did good with saving the money for about 3 months before it was Gone o_O Coincidentally my allowance didn't get compounded in that time period either. :wideyed: Definitely Taught Me A Little Lesson About Money Though.:greedy:[/QUOTE]
