I opened a checking account today

[Iacobus]

I went to the bank today and opened a checking account. Its free because I am in the 55 or older group. Hehe. Well, my dad is so its free for me too. And that was all cool. I feel richer now that I have 400 dollars in a checking account (nevermind that that money was in my savings before). Plus I feel older. I mean, I have a check book AND a debit card!!! Woot!

But thats not the best part. We got a free gift for opening an account and we had a choice between this backpack chair thing or a smoothie maker. A SMOOTHIE MAKER!!! I am so excited, what could be a cool free gift then a smoothie maker. And you could make it as cheesy as you want, just add a bit of chedder or anyother type and some ice and volia, really nasty dairy/water product!! Think of all the uses of a smoothie maker. Doesn't it just sound very dormroomish to you?

It reminds me of this guy and when I see someone with out a smoothie maker now I can go : Hehe.

A smoothie maker? How cool! I'm jealous! :

I remember my free gift.. It was a tote bag.

I also remember that the first place I wrote a check to was the florist for a bouquet to take to a graduation open house.

We own a smoothie maker. The best is strawberry lemon smoothies. i'm getting hungry!

[homeschoolmom]

We have one too, along with a myriad of other kitchen appliances (and for a woman who hates to cook!)... But I never got one for free for opening a checking account.

In fact, my free gifts include:
a glass bear (that looks like a gummy bear)
the aformentioned tote bag
a set of drinking glasses (that fell of the moving truck... Nice job, HSdad)
and a Rubbermaid storage container...

TCF is not the best gift giver in the world...

lol. Thanks to all of the Phatmassers here, yourself included my free gifts typically include tons of Catholic books, rosaries, tapes, and more.

[homeschoolmom]

hehe... I meant from the bank. And aren't all gifts, by definition "free"?

[Brother Adam]

heavens no. Some gifts are very costly indeed.

[sweetpea316]

Lucky! I didn't even get a free pen or anything for opening mine...

[MilesChristi]

Yeah, my bank didn't give me anything.

I feel cheated.

[Iacobus]

Strawberry lemon sounds really good. I might have to try that.

My free gift could be costly because I had to hand over 400 dollars and all. I mean, I can't spend it for a least a few days, until I get my debit card. The checks after over 300 so thats cool but I am too lazy to write in my name and all that.

[picchick]

for a minute there I thought that it was something P&P...Plush toys or trading cards....

you were suppose to take the pen from the desk

Ah, I didn't get a free gift for opening my checking account either.... The smoothie maker sounds like fun. I have a blender/smoothie/food processor dealie my mom got me, and I really haven't used it much except to make chocolate shakes.

I think you should try making a sirloin smoothie.
