How far can you stretch $10?


I finally got around to filing my taxes!! Woo-hoo! To my surprise, I was refuded a grand total of $10. Seriously. I am happy that I do not owe, however, I feel like slapping someone for sending me a $10 check. How does this happen? I presently owe Federal $1000 and I get a refund from State for $1010. For the remainder of 2010, I need to start a business, obtain a husband, or pop out a few kids. In the meantime, I am looking for creative ways on spending this refund check since purchasing a Mac computer is now officially out the door. So far, I have come up with:

1. A hair cut at Hair Cuttery
2. 3 gallons of gas (Premium)
3. Two Footlong subs from Subway
4. Two value meals from McDonalds
5. A movie ticket (matinee)
6. 10 Redbox movie rentals
7. A car wash
8. a new-release CD
9. wine from the grocery store
10. a pay-per-view movie in a hotel room

Figured I would stop at 10 since this seems to by my lucky number. Hey, maybe I should buy 10 scratch-off lottery tickets.
