Fun Friday - Scrabble

Scrabble


My husband and I have been sucked into the world of virtual boardgames on Facebook. We take turns coming over to the computer to embarrass the other with our thought provoking words and skillful placement on the board. Of course this is all done in good fun. While we have enjoyed these games that stretch out for a week at a time, we’d like to share it with the rest of the family. Today’s trip into town will include a quick run over to Wal-Mart or Dollar General to pick up a Scrabble game. I am already looking forward to evenings around the table with the big kids with tiles and little kids with popcorn. I am really starting to understand the value of “Game Night” that I’ve heard so much about. It seems that all my boys want to do is to participate in anything with their Daddy and eat popcorn.

It’s too bad that Scrabble doesn’t put out coupons! I would be using one today! I am wondering how to save money though. Amazon has some that are discounted.  The savings should cover the shipping cost.  And I could stay out of the busiest store in our town!  Perhaps there are some partial games that will become available in the yard sale season that is coming upon us rather rapidly. An extra handful of tiles could prove to be very useful in a household where the legos are everywhere except in the lego bucket. And if any of you have partial Scrabble games, feel free to send your extra tiles my way.

  1. I just saw where K-Mart is offereing 50% off of Hasbro board games when you trade in an old board game! Yea! It's like a coupon for Scrabble. Unfortunately, we don't have a K-Mart.
