u\/deleted user: My grandfather was the world\u2019s most cheap person. I got a $30 gift card from him after he d!ed. For some reason, I chose to use it instead of giving it away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There was a time in my life before and after that event. When I gave the checker the card, her face turned pale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cashier:<\/strong> That\u2019s not possible, where did you get that?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Me:<\/strong> Uh\u2026 My grandfather owned it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Cashier:<\/strong> \u201dSTOP EVERYONE!\u201d. IN FRONT OF US is the winner of our store\u2019s secret contest that has been going on for ten years!<\/p>\n\n\n\n The cashier was very excited to tell the customer that the gift card was a special promotional item that had a million-dollar prize that had been unused for years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I stood there stunned as the store manager came over to confirm what I already knew to be true. My grandpa\u2019s \u201cstingy\u201d gift turned into a fortune that changed my whole life and my future in an instant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Being a cheapskate means you like to make every dollar count. But sometimes it\u2019s nice to spend your hard-earned money on the people you love. It doesn\u2019t mean you spend a lot of money. You can show them you care by giving them a treat or the nice gift they\u2019ve always wanted.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" u\/deleted user: My grandfather was the world\u2019s most cheap person.
