[derpkitteh]

walmart, cause i buy a lot of shit there. blizzard, cause i guess i've spent a lot there too. lived at the same place for like, 15 years, though it wasn't me paying the rent, it was my family. so if i could get the money from that, that'd be a whole lot. if not then... i guess guitar center, about $3600 there.

[Khaza-R]

1. University
2. My local bar
3. Delta (its expensive to see friends/family)

[Jester Joe]

Steam and WoW.
I'd be rolling in the money.

And possibly gaia online, from when I was still like 16 and spent more than I should of on it.

[stumpy]

The three colleges I've attended would be a few tens of thousands of dollars in total tuition.

I have been living off of my parents' wallets so heavily that I wouldn't get shit back, so I guess
Alepa (Finnish grocery store chain)
Blizzard
The S-group

[Wyshbonez]

Verizon Wireless, Best Buy, and Gamestop

[Mormolyce]

Uh, this is basically asking me where I spend the most money?

Wouldn't I just say my local supermarket?

[YuneKirby]

Amazon, Steam, and my local grocery store. I could easily finish paying off my house if I had that money back.

[OneSent]

-Blizzard Entertainment
-Musician's Friend
-Best Buy

[Zenotetsuken]

Camel, Blizzard, Rockstar (Energy Drinks, not the game company)

[obdigore]

1) Two Stones Pub (I might be the reason their business is profitable)
2) Steam
3) Tie between Amazon and Barnes and Noble. My Library is huge.

1. Ingles (I don't know how far they stretch, but they are a big grocery store chain in at least the southeastern US, for those of you who don't recognize the name). I buy my groceries there, and I also get gas for my car there because a) it's cheaper than all the other places in town anyway and b) they have a "frequent shopper" sort of program where I can use my card at the pump and get a 10-cent discount per gallon of gas. That only saves me a grand total of like one dollar on a full tank, but still.

2. Wal Mart, I guess. There's one about a 5-minute drive from my house, and it's one of the only reliable 24-hour stores in town. I also occasionally buy games there when I CBA to drive to Gamestop (the nearest Gamestop is about a 40-minute drive away).

3. Windstream (my Internet, phone, and cable TV service provider). They are basically the big "monopoly" on the above mentioned services where I live, so I've been with them for a long time.

I'd be in pretty good shape if I had back all the money I've spent at the above 3 places. Ingles is probably the biggest, considering I regularly buy groceries/gas there and have been doing so for several years. They only installed gas pumps in the last few years, but they've been here as a grocery store for as long as I can remember.

Also Home Depot, Gamestop, and Newegg might be honorable mentions.

If you could suddenly regain all of the money have spent at an 3 stores/restuarants/etc., what 3 places would you pick (online or in real life)?

Note that for the sake of this discussion, you can still retain the goods and services AND the business you bought the items from wouldn't be harmed by this process.

Does it have to be us personally or can we include things that family purchased when we were younger? If the former I'd go with college tuition, 7-11 (gas mostly), and the local Toyota dealership. If the later replace every option with a 150k+ USD house my family purchased whenever we moved.

Blizzard, O'Learys(Pub) and my grocery store.

Blizzard, they took way to much of my monnie

Tabbaco companies, I would be able to buy a new car.

Weed dealers, I could use it to buy more drugs

[Xargoth6634]
