Guest avid Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 You buy a $50 BPS gift card on ebay for $50.00 the reason is because your wife pays the credit card bill and can't seem to understand that the new swimbait you wanna buy for $50.00 is really a bargain that you absolutely MUST have. So you buy a gift card on ebay, make the purchase, and the little lady is none the wiser 8-) tag, your it. Quote
Low_Budget_Hooker Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 Or you can get a REAL lady, like yours Avid, who accepts you for who you are. I think most women realize that you can fill a shelf in a tackle box for the price of a pair of (cheaper) shoes. If you add up the tackle box contents and the contents on the floor of her closet,...who is spending more $$??? Hmmmmm You're it. Quote

jwo1124 Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 When you walk out of Dick's sporting Goods with a $300+ reciept and think to yourself, "I need to get more lures." Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted October 23, 2007 Super User Posted October 23, 2007 When you think $30 is a lot to spend for three Mattlures Baby Bass, but you just ordered five bags of BassTrix because you found a deal for "only" $12 each plus shipping! Quote
slomoe Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 when you check you Dicks Rewards Card points online after every purchase to see if you've hit 300 so you can get you $10 gift card. Quote
Super User Bassin_Fin@tic Posted October 23, 2007 Super User Posted October 23, 2007 When you go to the checkout at BPS and have to trouble the girl to subtract half of your total items from the reciept after realizing you didnt bring enough money. Not that this has ever happened to me. Quote

Olebiker Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 Our supermarket has a display where they sell gift cards from a number of stores including Cabela's and Bass Pro Shops. I offer to do the grocery shopping pretty often so I can buy a gift card. SWMBO can't understand why the grocery bill is so high when I go but it doesn't appear that I bought that much. Quote

Siebert Outdoors Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 You guys are killing me with all your tricks so the ol lady wont find out. Funny thing is I bet you she does the same exact thing with her goofy stuff. She thinks how can I slide this one under the radar? Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted October 23, 2007 Super User Posted October 23, 2007 My wife has zero interest in fishing or my fishing gear. I doubt if she knows the difference in a rod verses a reel! So, I keep my stuff in a little room off the garage and NEVER flaunt anything that I buy. My policy is "No see, no tell." Quote
dman Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 When you race your wife home on your lunch break so that you can intercept "packages" out of the mailbox so the wife doesn't know that you have multiple orders coming in that week. Your it......... Ditto on this! And its the worst when nothing was delivered so you know you have to do it again tomorrow and this takes another day away from fishing a pond by my work on my hr break.....lifes tough sometimes Quote
Super User Sam Posted October 23, 2007 Super User Posted October 23, 2007 When you get your wife to use your Bass Pro Shop VISA card so you can score on the rebate points and she has no idea. ;D Quote
Super User MALTESE FALCON Posted October 23, 2007 Super User Posted October 23, 2007 I guess I'm the lucky one. My wife and I have an understanding, she doesn't tell me how much she spends on shoes and purses and I don't tell her how much I spend on fishing. I always know when she wants to go shopping because she asks me if I want to go to BPS. Falcon Quote

Falcon Yep...... It's a no win situation though when I have to go into Victoria Secrets with her. I always get slapped for looking at the sales associates. Truthfully I don't check them out because of the fear from my wife. But I get punched in the arm anyway lol. But the pain wears off as soon as I set foot in Dicks sporting goods and I check out the sales rack. ;D Quote
Olebiker Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 My wife has zero interest in fishing or my fishing gear. I used to think that about my wife, but she surprised me Sunday morning when I was watching a fishing show. A professional (I don't remember who) was weighing in and SWMBO commented, "Look at that. He has a Trilene patch and a Stren patch on his shirt!" I was amazed that she knew that Stren and Trilene were, or at least used to be, competitors. "You better be careful," she said, "there's a lot I know that you don't know I know." Quote

Super User grimlin Posted October 23, 2007 Super User Posted October 23, 2007 Went to buy one thing @ mejiers one day and walked into a sale they had going on with hardbaits....I walked out with probably 20+ crankbaits/jerkbaits all because they were half off.(most of them were gone already or i'd woulda brought more) Funny thing was i was suppose to just pick up some milk...... Never did tell my girl and waited till she went to bed to get em' out of my car to play with them. ;D Quote
dman Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 waited till she went to bed to get em' out of my car to play with them. ;D been there, done that.....this is great, i thought i was the only one doing things like this! Quote
Super User .ghoti. Posted October 23, 2007 Super User Posted October 23, 2007 My wife knows what all the stuff is, and what it costs. I don't even try to hide anything from her. I don't have to, she buys stuff for me. She knows what I like and what I use, and will almost always get the right stuff. What are you gonna do with a woman like that, except keep her. And never, ever, say anything about shoes. Cheers, GK Quote
