Well, I didn’t get mine yet. But plenty of others have shared how they decided to use theirs at the web site: HowIspentmystimulus.com.

Now why didn’t I think of that?

The photo-posts tell stories about everything from people spending money to travel to the World Beard and Moustache competition (seriously?), to buying an As Seen on TV pancake puff pan, to taking a puppy to the vet for a “particularly messy case of giardia.”

Interspersed with the impulse buys, travel plans, and medical bills (oddly the majority of medical bills were for animals), are mentions of paying down debt. Not much saving going on.

It’s one of those sites that can suck you in, so be careful. My only wish is that you could sort stimulus use by location and map out the pix to see if anyone else in your hood is heading to that beard competition. Then you could caravan.
