Using a Gift Card Wisely

I have had a Toys R Us gift card in my wallet for a while now.  It seems like every time we go I forget it is there.  Not yesterday...I set out on a mission.  The gift card only had $5 on it, but I planned on spending it wisely.  Since Tuesday night in my house is family game night and I can't seem to find our set of domino's I headed to the game isle.  I seemed to recall that they had a set for 4.99.  Sure enough they did. After consulting with my son on how many domino's we should get we both decided on the $4.99 tin that contained 28 domino's.  I briefly forgot there was tax on the item, so thought I was going to be walking out of there with free dominos.  Wrong...I had to pay .31 cents.  Still .31 cents is not bad.
So by using my gift card wisely, I managed to save 94% on something that could bring my family hours of entertainment.
