So Many Options for Things To Buy With 1000 Dollars

There is so much you could do with 1 grand. You could have a grand time or do something practical. Pay a bill, or grab a flight to visit friends for a summer getaway. Here, you’ll find 7 interesting things to buy with 1000 dollars, from silly to sensible.

I was thinking, what would I do with 1000 dollars? The first thing that comes to mind is a trip. Of course thoughts creep into my head, steering me away from fun to sensible.

Yeah, sure the money would help pay my property taxes next quarter. But I could also get some sweet seats to see one of my favorite country artists! I could treat my family to a night out with dinner and a play in Boston. Then again, I could also get some much needed landscaping done in my yard.

What’s the first thing that comes to mind when you think about winning $1000? Take a look at a few interesting ideas for spending your winning money. And good luck winning Country Cash on Country 1025. I’m rooting for you!

  • 1. 200 Cannoli at Mike's Pastry

    Everybody loves Mike’s Pastries in Boston’s North End. Have you seen the lines out the door on a Saturday night? It’s crazy. This legendary Italian bakery is world famous for their cannoli, from their signature plain to chocolate chip, hazelnut and many other options. Oh, and if you think my grammar is poor and I’m not making cannoli plural. Fun fact:  Cannoli is already a plural. Like the animal deer. 1 deer, 2 deer. 1 cannoli, 2 cannoli. With $1000 you could buy 200 cannoli! Obviously, you’d want to spread it out over time and bring friends. Every flavor of cannoli is $5 at Mike’s.

  • 3. Invest In A Roth IRA

    What people like about a Roth IRA (retirement savings account) is the fact that you can take tax-free withdrawals from it, after you turn 59 1/2 years old. Start saving for your future now. Sure, you can have fun with 1 grand now. But if you invest in a retirement fund like this, your money will grow for fun, later.

  • 4. Uber to 10 Concerts

    If your average Uber ride to area venues is a about $50 each way, you could get to roughly 10 concerts this season! That would be around $100 round trip. So, consider catching a ride to see Kane Brown in July at Fenway Park. How about Cole Swindell at Leader Bank Pavilion, or Kenny Chesney at Gillette Stadium. Hop in, relax. Get dropped off and picked up. Take the stress out of parking. You deserve it!
