    Which store would you choose to max out your credit card?

    TV's

    Cameras
    Jewelry
    Books
    Music
    Appliances
    Household Goods
    Food
    Tires
    Furniture

    I could help myself and others easily with $50k shopping there.

    I once was looking for the Macy's in a town I didn't know. I just thought about it and said, "If I were Macy's I'd like to be just about here." I SWEAR I looked up and there was the sign for Macy's.

Now the only problem being that the new LG logo is slightly different (the old one was smaller and in a rectangle) and the 23 cu fter is 1/2" shorter. (Yes I thought this through already :p) I would add upper Kitchen Craft bamboo cabinets over my chest freezers. (the tall ones with smaller lift ups below).

    So now that would be 1400 plus about 5000 so i've spend $6400. They have a beautiful wrought iron pergola about $3500 more so $9900.

    I plan on getting kiddos / giant dog someday so the white carpets will need to go. So some nice flooring (maybe cork) on the main floor would be budgeted for another 5k (15k) spent. In the backyard they have this gorgeous BBQ so another 2 (17k), and a sectional outdoor sofa, bringing me up to 19k. Lets budget another 6k for trees, plants, shrubs etc (23k), and another thousand for an outdoor swing (24k). Let's add another 5k for various millwork (crown mouldings throughout the house, 9" baseboards, rosettes for the door corners, chair rails etc), so 29k now.

    A beautiful hottub and all its fittings for another 10k so we're at 39k. A walk in sauna for 2, so we're at 41k now. This leaves me another 3k (gotta take those sales tax into account). So maybe an electric fireplace and bookcases, so theres 2k left. For 2k I could add some fancier window coverings to supplement my "single male look" coverings. :)

    There done!

    At Macy's I can get clothes and shoes for me and the boys. New towels and chochkis for the bathrooms, new bedding, kitchen supplies and other items for the home and most importantly JEWELRY! I hope $50K will be enough.

However, if I had a 50K credit card, I would have no problem getting it.

    No wait. I'm switching back to Macy's. I figure I can get a nice purse, some clothes, jewelry, shoes, stuff for my house, and then I can pick up a few items I can easily sell on e-bay for the $, then I can use that to go buy that costume.

    I would say Fry's Electronics. Computers to tv's and radios to ghost hunting equipment and everything else!
