I bought an item for $30, brought it home and almost immediately threw it out. What was it?

[Bossy Monkey]

Hint: it was pretty small.

1. a really-nice trash can? n/t

[Bossy Monkey]

3. Huh-uh, but a worthy effort. n/t

[siligut]

2. A nice door mat?

Do you actually throw a throw rug? I think it is a matter of semantics really. I wanted to guess seeds for the birds, but $30 worth of seeds is not small.

[Bossy Monkey]

4. A clever guess, but no. n/t

[EOTE]

5. One of them fancy digital pregnancy tests? NT

[Bossy Monkey]

8. Given my gender and lack of social skills, it would be reasonable to expect me to throw one away

immediately, but no.

6. A whole lot of ice melt?

:-)

[Bossy Monkey]

9. I live in SC; I don't even know what that is. n/t

[Kali]

7. some kind of medical device/product?

[Bossy Monkey]

10. No, but another good guess. n/t

[Ptah]

11. Fire extinguisher?

[Bossy Monkey]

12. Don't they recharge those things? Anyway, no. n/t

[Bossy Monkey]

13. 'nother hint: my cell phone is a Net10

Somehow, I don't think anybody is going to need any more hints, which is lucky as I'm starting supper now and might not be back.

[Ptah]

14. What's for supper?

:shrug:

[Bossy Monkey]

16. Pasta fazoo. Yaay! nt

[Rhythm]

17. I do this all too often as well, so i know...

:hi: from another Net10 user...

[Bossy Monkey]

19. Hi back! I could easily live without it, but it has paid off a few times

when the regular phone was tied up. So I guess I'll stick with it another couple months at least.

[Rhythm]

21. It's been pretty cost-effective for me...

Especially now that they've unveiled a $50 unlimited call/text/web option.

I've had the same basic flip-phone for a couple of years... i really don't need all of the bells and whistles of the more expensive ones.

15. A Baby? Always buy a few during the holidays and chuck them

[Bossy Monkey]

18. "Why, I myself fetched $30,000 on the black market. And that was in 1954 dollars."

No, but it would be a good story!:)

20. Phone recharge card

You added minutes to your phone.

Hint: if there's a truck stop in your area, buy your minutes there. It's far more ecologically correct because truck stops print the PIN on your receipt rather than giving you a card you must scratch off, key the numbers into your phone then throw away.

22. Steve Spurrier's handbag??

:P

[edbermac]

23. A football?

[GreatCaesarsGhost]

24. Decision Points

[BlueJazz]

25. Battery

[surrealAmerican]

26. Grass seed?

... but I guess that would be a whole bunch of very small items, rather than one pretty small one.

[surrealAmerican]

27. dupe.

... removed.

[Orrex]

28. A mail-order husband?

[WinkyDink]

29. It was only pining for the fjords!
