I've just booked a Mate's ticket with Virgin Atlantic to LA for the month of May.
A banana and two tangerines
A pair of black convertible Mountain Hardware hiking pants for 29 bucks. They are usually $80 at REI, but I had dividends from being an REI member, and the store had 20% off one full-priced item for members. Happy, happy. These are the most comfortable hiking pants ever.
This was the most I ever had, dividend-wise. I guess I spent a lot last year. They sometimes have some pretty good sales. I got a nice wicking shirt for next to nothing on the clearance rack.Good deal!
I'm an REI member, too, but I haven't bought anything there in years. Even when I did, the dividends I got were very minimal because I didn't buy very much. But since I haven't been to REI in the past couple of years, maybe I should go back and see what goodies I can find.
