Description:

I love looking at what other people are buying and thinking up stories about who they are and why they are buying what they are buying. This is the first in a line of swaps if people like the idea. Here it goes:

For this swap you will be following an innocent shopper in your local dollarstore (or a store similar to that - with cheap priced items) and picking up at least 3 (three) items that are the same as the items the "leader" (the innocent customer in front of you) picks up. - if he or she doesn't get 3 wait for the next "leader" to appear. MUHAHAHA

Then you buy it and stuff it in a package along with a note saying something about the person you followed; what did he/she look like, why do you think the person bought what he/she bought? Be creative. I hope you'll enjoy the swap.

Rules: I'll check all profiles and ban anyone I think looks fishy.. You must have at least 10 completed type 3 swaps and at least 4,8 score. I'll be able to angle a few of these but please don't make that necessary ;)

What a cute idea! I'd love to join.... Any chance of hosting (or giving me permission to) host a US/Canada one to save on shipping overseas?

Midnightshadow 12/28/2009 #

@Catherine You are welcome to host an american version (I don't live in the US so can't host that version). - Please give credit to the idea and have fun swapping :-) I'm glad you like the idea I love it too smiles

I actually love the fact that this is international, it should be interesting to see what comes from another country :)

ummhussein: Yeah, that's another thing that makes it fun :-p

Haha, that is so fun! I'll actually be near a nice dollar store tomorrow :D I wonder if anyone will think I'm stalking them.

dynasourX 01/ 9/2010 #

Haha, so today I did this and the lady I stalked bought meat! Who would have thought they sell MEAT at the dollar store?! So I guess I'll be signing up for the US only version and stalking someone else tomorrow ('cause I don't think I can send meat internationally).

Midnightshadow 01/10/2010 #

@dynasourX : Wow we don't have meat at our dollar store.. if it was me I would just give it another go with someone else.. :-)
