How to get the most bang for your (600) buck(s)

Published on May 15, 2008

If you’ve got a thing for quantity over quality, we’ve compiled a whole slew of ways—from the charitable to the gluttonous and pleasurably immoral—that you can hack away at that $600 with a thousand little cuts instead of one big blow. We’ve already done the math. So mix and match ’em, slice and dice ’em. Eat tacos while getting waxed. Or ditch the kids and get some quality “mommy and daddy” time in front of the DVD player. After all, what good is a truckload of porn when the little ones are nagging you to fill up the plastic kiddie pool again? Get creative and spread that hot stimulus loving all over town—we know you want to.
