This isnt a fucking game, kid, this is my life. Live on the Alaskan tundra for a year and we'll see how your habits change when you come out the other side. You wake up and spit your morning loogie down the sink. I swallow it for sustenance. You're the kind who throws away bad milk. I make sour cream. You tie your shoes before you leave the house. I use one long lace between them both to save $ on shoelaces, faggot. I shit in a diaper for a year cause I couldnt afford to flush. Ever heard of a lambskin condom? I fuck lambs with a condom.. cause women are just too pricey. I have a mustache, cause it gets me free hotdogs. You're up a paddle without a creek, richboy. Ill only tell you once: I keep my promises kid, cause I cant afford to lie

This is retarded.
What you do is watch the roulette table for a while, counting how many reds appear and how many blacks appear.
If there's a long string of reds then put everything on black, since it's due to come up.

Walk by drive thru, hear someone's order. After that person gets their food, go inside and say "I didn't get my whopper jr" or whatever cheap item they ordered. They will usually just give you one, if they ask to see your receipt just say you are going to get it. Don't go back in.

>unplug your refrigerator at night to save electricity

This is just stupid. Let's say you turn it off and the temperature is 7ºC. During the night, the temperature goes up to 10ºC (exaggeration). When you plug it back, the fridge will start working and put it at 7 again, therefore, you didn't save shit.

it's completely random whether red or black comes up. the only thing you can watch out is zeros. if there hasn't been a zero for a long time, start betting on green because the zeros are usually triggered after long streaks of red/black.

Buy a ql-550 label printer. Go to retail store. Find item you want for cheap. Find a self price check scanner. Let's say you want a specific set of pots and pans. Paula Deen edition. Next locate the cheap set. It will be much less, this is the real price you will pay. Take a picture of the UPC or write down the number. The way the UPC is laid out is UPC A, UPC B, each one is like a different font. Scanners look at the white, not the black lines. Print out the label. Cut it so it fully covers the real UPC and stick your new label there. Go to register, find someone busy or someone who has been there a long time. Checkout.

You can do this with everything except for items where serial numbers are entered in by the cashier.

Buy small RV, buy one with ugly interior and exterior. Paint exterior white using rustoleum and thinner. Older models have ugly exteriors. Replace interior carpet with something cheap from Lowes or $40 in linoleum tiles. Clean tires, clean really good inside. Paint really old wood trim.

Park it near a camp ground, sell for a profit.

I do this 5 or 6 times a year. You can find older RVs for cheap and people don't usually use them much.

farmers market or craft show? Go to Aldi and buy some cheap cheese, something on sale. Open package, add salt or something, fine bits of a herb or something, store in a refrigerator for a couple days, wipe off salt, herbs, or spices. Rewrap in wax paper. Congrats on your new artisan cheese.

Buy some random seasonal snack food there. Break it down into smaller wrappers. Resell it for a profit.
