One weekend, I headed to a home improvement showcase at a civic center.
A girlfriend asked me along saying, “Bring a tote bag. There will be great
swag.” So there I was, tote bag over my shoulder, collecting swag…the
popular name for “free-stuff-nobody-needs-but-you-take-anyway.”
Once I got home, I was sorry I picked up things here and there. What did I
need with a coozie touting a pool company, more ink pens, a jar opener from
a plumber, or key chains from the locksmith. If I really put each item where it
went, it would take an hour...and I didn’t need any of it.
Bottom line, just because it’s free doesn’t mean you need it. Have fun looking
and leave it behind.
