    Duh or wait

    So I feel kinda stupid. I've been saving up Northerner bonus points for a while to get the 5ml stainless Icetool. I have 1500 points and it costs 2100. I keep getting worried that it will disappear off the list before I get there or the system will change whatever (I'm kinda paranoid). But it just dawned on me that I could make out better with my bonus points. I use a couple of the snusii on the bonus page a lot so check my math and let me know what I should do.

    5ml icetool=2100 points
    available points=1500
    1 can snus cost=60 points (i could get 25 cans)
    cost of icetool=like 47 or something
    cost of 25 cans snus=like 70 bucks!

    So I could totally use this as an excuse to go ahead and buy the 5ml icetool lol. Even though I've been saving points for it for 6 months and still don't have enough. lol

    As long as they have snus you would normally buy then it's a no-brainer, using your points to buy snus is a better deal.

      I had already done the math and figured out the same thing. Points FAR more valuable for snus than the Icetool. Why I bought the Icetool last time and will use all my points for just snus this next go around.

          yea like he said...no brainer
          snus
          Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to hide the bodies of the people I killed because they were annoying......





          I've been wrong lots of times.  Lots of times I've thought I was wrong only to find out that I was right in the beginning.

            Buy the Icetool. Use points for snus or some nice t-shirts.

                Hello to all:
                Sorry i haven't posted in a while. My .02 worth on this would be.
                If your the kind of person that collects one-off items, then wait for the points as the one you get on bonus points is laser engraved with "The Northerner" and can't be purchased.
                I like to collect things like this so I waited and used points.

                Stay Safe All
                Tom

                  Thanks guys for double checking my sanity or lack of And good point Icebear I didn't realize the difference. I'm pretty sure the points will go towards snus and I'll buy the icetool. I'm not pulling the trigger yet though.

                    I voted I hate you. But I actually like you

                    I would get the Ettan hat.

                      Lol HK

                      I new that would be a tempting poll option.

                      I have been seriously thinking about the Ettan hat as well

                              I really want the snus ashtray. It's not many points. I've been using an old Kardus box for snus disposal by my chair.

                              My issue is that I know the minute I use my points they will come up with something I need even more.
