    You can buy 4 of these from Amazon.

    Wow...that "Me Too" movement sure is driving the cost down.

    Pay it forward.

    Head to your local Walmart and pay $50 on two separate layaways.

    That's a sweet idea, but doesn't Walmart only do layaway around the holidays?

    I just picked up a mower that somebody pushed to the curb, and sold it for $100 an hour later.  I need the advice of the forum on how to spend the money I have no remorse wasting!
    You should split it with the guy where you got the mower.... :open_mouth:
    That's the first place I went and he wouldn't take any money. Said it was his fault for not trying harder. I owe him a drink for sure.

    You could donate it to your local food bank.

    I'm sure you'd have no problem picking something up at the Ceramic Grill Store 
    I just completed my CGS wish list. Guess its time to buy a new egg to help keep Tom in business.

    Buy 100$ worth of something bizarre - like cornstarch.

    Would $100 bucks of cornstarch be enough to fill up a kiddy pool with non-Newtonian fluid?

    If so, that would be fun.

    Youd have to score a couple more for this but this could be a nice commemorative of your entrepreneurship :-)

    =) You could buy some of this - I'm sure it's money well spent

    Thanks everybody! There were some great suggestions here. I landed on the Thermoworks Smoke, I've wanted one for awhile so I guess now is the time!

    I appreciate the donation suggestions, but with three kids and a wife at home I'm my own charity case sometimes.  Most (all) of my mad money comes from random side ventures, so I have to strike when the irons hot.

    MISSION FAILED

    Buying a Smoke is hardly dumb! :)
