Upon being informed by the cashier that his assortment of purchases totaled $49.56, local man Josh Molina triumphantly basked Thursday in the glory of using up nearly the exact value of his $50 Target gift card. Wow, I thought maybe that Twix bar would nudge me over the limit, but it worked out perfectly, just perfectly, said Molina, exulting in victory after spending 20 minutes carefully gathering a group of items that would approach $50 and that would then edge even closer to that amount once tax was factored in. I figured the coffee machine would use up the bulk of my card, and then when I saw some socks I like on sale for $7.99, I just knew the numbers were going to line up. This is beyond amazing. At press time, Molina had reinserted the now-44-cent gift card into his wallet, where it would remain indefinitely.
