I remember years ago, it is featured in the news, that a mall makes some sort of a promo on their anniversary. I can't remember much details because I was younger when I get to see it, it's not clear on my mind but it was kind of like this, the one 100th person to enter the mall on their anniversary will be given a one million dollars worth of mall raid. What does mean? She will be given a whole day to spend $1,000,000 with the items inside the mall only. Which means she cannot take on the money, she will only have to spend it to buy everything inside the mall, from groceries to clothes and other stuff.
(donating money is not an option,taking home the money is not an option)
If you are given the same opportunity to raid a shopping mall. What will be the items you will prioritize? What services inside the mall you would like to experience? What items are you going to take home?
What groceries will you fill of those empty shopping carts?

Wow! That would be nice still! I will go straight to the gadgets section and get the latest gadgets out there. Next stop will be on the department store to buy clothes, shoes and bag. But of course, I won't spend too much time on that area. I will then move straight to the grocery store and ran over the grocery items which can be stocked for a long time. This can give me a supply of such products which will be very nifty. I would really not care of the services offered in the mall as I will waste much time from doing those things and I have limited time to shop only. But of course, I'll make sure I'll be eating some snacks on while doing the shopping spree. Well, I guess there are a lot of possible buys in the mall. I just have to make sure I used up the maximum amount given to me.

Yes, yes. What we will get really depends on our priority. Maybe I skipped on the appliance and furniture section since I don't have anything to add up much to our home. Maybe I'll prioritize it if I already got a house of my own. And yes, I will surely shop for gifts for my family and friends too.

though my car is not a spanking brand new its engine is actually great and it's still doing well. I can drive from Manila to Makati everyday with no problems by far for now. I hope it won't give the future problems (crossing my fingers) if you see my car, it has the worst page of heaven and its back seat have its foam exposed. LOL

Oh my, I am not really a fan of fruits and vegetables so I guess it really depends on the likes of a person. Yes, I will also use a portion of that prize for luxury but I don't do it on food. I serve my luxury on gadgets and clothes. Bad thing you can't buy a car in the mall eh? Or it can be? Just suck up first your current car as long as it can still take you somewhere. However, old cars tend to be less efficient which can really ruin your gasoline budget and maintenance plans. We do have an old, ragged car too. We just use it whenever we go to the public market and use it for errand purposes. But now we are looking for buyers since the cost of oil in it and maintenance costs are really disappointing. I guess you should try to sell yours too and buy yourself a new one if ever you have the money. And yes, carjackers never mind old cars. The new and flashing cars are their favorites. Well, just look on the bright side of things. Whenever you use your car, you are safe from carjacking.

I have a feeling you will spend the most time with clothing. I notice girls took forever before they found a dress they like.

You know I always think about rare occurrences like this whenever I go inside the mall, I have that wishful thinking they had hoped, or something. Some malls really do this on their anniversaries

hello Capt,
(donating money is not an option,taking home the money is not an option)
That's easy- I will purchase groceries that I can donate later after taking it home.
I will buy the latest gadgets and sell later.
But-a million dollar?
If it is to be converted in our money and I am gonna spend that million dollar money here in our country...is it enough to buy half of the mall and it's content?

How about the more selfish options, for sure it's not all about charities, I mean we have our own lives too. I can see I can see you starting a business based on the way you talk. From what I remember, is she is not able to spend the rest of $1,000,000 at the end of the day, only the item she gets to become the one she will take home. I think the jewelry section will make it easier for you to finish off that $1,000,000 and you can sell them later to start a business for help charities.
If I'm the person who won it, I will raid the video games isle, computer isle and gadgets.

There's no problem spending all that money especially if the mall has a car dealer among its tenants. My priorities would be a few cars, a living room showcase, bedroom showcase and kitchen showcase. If there's more left that when i'll go for the grocery.

I think a couple of gym equipments will also do great ,My car looks pathetic so a new one would be a treat in my case.
