Well, for a "Free Comic Book Day", we ended up spending a little bit of cash when we went out.

First, I did my run after

blu_harvest called to remind me. Dashed down to Twilite Zone comics and got my free copy of Xmen/Runaways by BKV, the Star Wars comic, and an Archie comic for

jimithingy. Then I made the mistake of browsing. They had the latest 'Nextwave' so I snagged that. And I noticed the two TPBs of 'Y THe Last Man' that I was missing soooo snagged that too. So now I have 1-6 and am waiting impatiently for 7 to come out next month.

Then I went to Target. The new 'Dinosaurs' DVD was there so I grabbed the last copy. I also noticed that the Veronica Mars dvds were on sale for $23...which sounded like a very good price but I wasn't sure if it was less than the all mighty Amazon.com, so I decided to double check when I got home.

So I went home and told

jimithingy about the VM dvds and saw that Amazon actually wanted more for them, so we ran back over to Target and grabbed a boxed set, and on the way to the checkout they also had the Wallace & Gromit adventures DVD for $10! *yoink*

Then we bought snacks and drinks because Bill & Beth were coming over to hang out, so cha-ching there. And then we did sushi for dinner.

All in all, not our cheapest weekend. But we had a lot of fun with Bill & Beth so that worked out. I kicked MAJOR butt during Tripoly. Didn't do quite as well at Mario Party 6. Mario Tennis and Mario Golf I'd say I was about average.

Anyway, the moral of the story is -

orangerful should not go into a comic book store the day after payday.
