Unless you're seriously malnourished, get the toy!

If store accepts Layaway. I Put down $5 and get lunch at Costco or Sam's Club. Did it once and I win and still got lunch and my Batman.

Agreed, best of both worlds

Top shelf of the barbie isle has been a great hiding spot

I hid the iron monger I wanted on top of a shelf with pink telescopes.

Honest to god pink telescopes.

Classic

Pink telescopes is hilarious, Wonder where others hide their finds?

The pink isle is solid, so is the board game isle

Take that 10 dollars and give to a charity....

Buy the freakin toy. Water will suffice!!

I generally don't eat lunch (small snack or something, like an energy or candy bar), so there's no dilemma for me.

However, I usually avoid toy hunting when I'm that low on funds anyway. Sometimes I miss out on the good stuff by doing that, but I'd rather be oblivious to the temptation than live with the regret of knowing.
