@winfield They had similar on MS before. Every one of each price box had the exact same stuff so it meant they had massive quantities of stuff they couldn’t get rid of.
@Felton10@winfield And that, in turn, tells me that I was right about the potential effectiveness of the brick & mortar for disposal of “why-did-we-buy-so-many” items. I had Doubts.
@winfield but the question remains…were you one of the ones who bought the inflation irks?..cause that was a hard pass for me…at least these are price stabilized…
@amehzinggrace@Kyeh Went back and looked and my mistake-found out she got what everyone else got by what someone else posted. They were selling male and female mystery boxes for $ 10 with 5 items with a guaranteed value of $ 40. I bought a male box and sent her a female box.
@gt0163c@tinamarie1974@werehatrack um, kitties? I chase them out of my yard. They are not allowed!!! I hear kitties do things, I dont know what they do. But I bet it is sneaky. Oh yeah
@Kyeh@tinamarie1974 Cool. Money is too damn tight right now to take that much of a chance and getting something extremely regrettable. I know your a regular here so I’ll be checking to see if someone who rarely post gets something worth the money as well. Good luck, I hope you get some things you can really use.
@CharlieDoggo@Kyeh@tinamarie1974@werehatrack My kitties do a lot of that too. One of them is napping just to my left, as she does most evenings (although that’s usually my other kitty’s spot. Nix is usually on my right. Not sure what’s up with that.)
/giphy sleepy-kitty
Maybe if you met some indoor kitties you would get along well. I’ve seen videos of kitties and doggos napping together (although not my furry doggo niece and furry kitty nephew…so it doesn’t always work out).
/giphy dog-and-cat-nap
@gt0163c@Kyeh@tinamarie1974@werehatrack I am SHOCKED! Well I talked to mom and she said we cannot get me a pet kitty because grandpaw is very allergic, whatever that means. But maybe I can try not to chase them out of my yard too quickly. Maybe.
Dont tell mom, but I dont even like to share the yard with that dumb turtle she watches out for, she just eats my extra tasty grass!
Oh and mom does nap, but she snores. I don’t like the noise she makes so I wake her up!!!
@CharlieDoggo@Kyeh@tinamarie1974@werehatrack I’m proud of you @CharlieDoggo for being willing to reconsider your opinion of kitties and maybe even change your behavior towards them. A lot of humans could learn from your example. Please ask your mom to give you some extra belly rubs for being such a good and mature doggo.
@CharlieDoggo@gt0163c@Kyeh@tinamarie1974@werehatrack Nah- he let go of her after a few minutes. Peanut may not have been quite full grown in that photo- she weighs about a hundred pounds now, and Tank still bosses her around. Our other dog Domino will stand still as a statue while Tank grooms him, and whine for more when he walks away.
@CharlieDoggo@gt0163c@Kyeh@tinamarie1974@werehatrack Maybe I should send Tank out to deal with the bear that’s been making a mess and trying to break into our chicken coops every night. (no, I wouldn’t really)
@chienfou
Like each category might have the same stuff in each box. I’ve bought a few throughout the years. I can’t really remember what they had in them but it wasn’t the greatest stuff. There was one I bought a few years back for Mother’s Day that turned out to be pretty decent. Usually the title will give you a clue to what’s in them, like lite me up will have stuff with lights, beauty with be beauty themed, homebound with most like have stuff for your house or to do at home and ect.
@chienfou@givemeyoursoul The real mystery is why anyone who has ever scored a Meh IRK would want to pony up this much for a MorningSave mystery box that doesn’t even come with value recovery coupons.
@Felton10
Mine said it was going to be here Thursday and it came early Wednesday instead! Surprise, surprise! I’ll post it tomorrow when I can take pics.
I got the $39 “surprise me” box and was pretty surprised.

@ironcheftoni
Now THAT’S what I came here looking for! THANK YOU!!
I think that’s the one that I was going to get and I needed/wanted to replace my step son’s smartwatch that I gave him out of a IRK last year because it stopped working.
I’ll be back to post here when I get it.
@Lynnerizer well, if you dont get one. Let me know. As for watches, ive been wearing the same one for over 20 years. The jewelry store is regretting selling me the lifetime battery replacement
@ironcheftoni When they were previous selling mystery boxes, each group type got the same type of items. That being said it appears some thought went into what you got and it was for the better that is for sure.
@Felton10@ironcheftoni I need to post my homebody box. It was good too! One thing though, they did say that the boxes w/n a category would b the same. So anyone who ordered a homebody box should get exactly the same contents.
@ironcheftoni@tinamarie1974 Wonder now if since the cat (not the dog or bird) is out of the box as to what it contains that more people will order them if still available if they want some or all of those things.
Looks like a high-priced themed IRK. Hard pass…
@winfield They had similar on MS before. Every one of each price box had the exact same stuff so it meant they had massive quantities of stuff they couldn’t get rid of.
@Felton10 @winfield And that, in turn, tells me that I was right about the potential effectiveness of the brick & mortar for disposal of “why-did-we-buy-so-many” items. I had Doubts.
@Felton10 Do you know that from personal experience??
@Kyeh Yes-I bought one for me and one for my daughter and they both had the exact same contents.
@winfield but the question remains…were you one of the ones who bought the inflation irks?..cause that was a hard pass for me…at least these are price stabilized…
@Felton10 @Kyeh What were said contents…was it worth it for the one purchase? kinda sucks on the double bit…
@amehzinggrace @Kyeh Went back and looked and my mistake-found out she got what everyone else got by what someone else posted. They were selling male and female mystery boxes for $ 10 with 5 items with a guaranteed value of $ 40. I bought a male box and sent her a female box.
I bit, got the homebody box. It had the lowest cost of entry. Why not, what else do I do these days.
@tinamarie1974 Scritch a kitty? Kittyscritches are free to hand out!
@werehatrack not sure what that is but I bet it is not as much fun as a MYSTERY BOX!!
@tinamarie1974 Will you report back about what you got?
@Kyeh sure, happy to!!!
@tinamarie1974 @werehatrack My kitties always appreciate scritches.
@gt0163c @werehatrack oh, thats what she meant!! @charliedoggo wound not be happy if I spent my time playing with kitties
@CharlieDoggo @tinamarie1974 @werehatrack @CharlieDoggo is a good boi and deserves all the belly rubs. I’m sure if you explained the situation he would understand if you gave some cute kitties a scritch or two.
@gt0163c @tinamarie1974 @werehatrack um, kitties? I chase them out of my yard. They are not allowed!!! I hear kitties do things, I dont know what they do. But I bet it is sneaky. Oh yeah

@gt0163c @tinamarie1974 @werehatrack
@CharlieDoggo
My kitty does an awful lot of this:
(Sound asleep!)
@Enigma @Kyeh @tinamarie1974
according to the write up (see post later in this thread) all the boxes (of any given type) contain the same 5 items.
@CharlieDoggo @Kyeh @tinamarie1974 @werehatrack My kitties do a lot of that too. One of them is napping just to my left, as she does most evenings (although that’s usually my other kitty’s spot. Nix is usually on my right. Not sure what’s up with that.)
/giphy sleepy-kitty
@gt0163c @Kyeh @tinamarie1974 @werehatrack oh my gosh, I nap too!!! Does that make me a kitty? This. Is. Confusing!!!
@CharlieDoggo @Kyeh @tinamarie1974 @werehatrack No, @CharlieDoggo. You is still a good boi doggo. Remember that even peoples nap sometimes (does your human ever take naps?).
Maybe if you met some indoor kitties you would get along well. I’ve seen videos of kitties and doggos napping together (although not my furry doggo niece and furry kitty nephew…so it doesn’t always work out).

@gt0163c @tinamarie1974 @werehatrack
@CharlieDoggo It’s true, some kitties and pups get along really well!

@CharlieDoggo @gt0163c @Kyeh @tinamarie1974 @werehatrack Mine posed for this statue I think.
@CharlieDoggo @gt0163c @tinamarie1974 @werehatrack
I love that statue.

@gt0163c @Kyeh @tinamarie1974 @werehatrack extra belly rubs? I will tell her FOR SURE!!! WOOF!!!
@CharlieDoggo @gt0163c @Kyeh @tinamarie1974 @werehatrack Ooh! An excuse to post my photo of our cat Tank dominating our dog Peanut. No safe word!
@gt0163c @Kyeh @Pony @tinamarie1974 @werehatrack
/giphy scared
@CharlieDoggo @gt0163c @Pony @tinamarie1974 @werehatrack I think Peanut looks pretty happy! I wish my cat would do that on my back. He loves to knead his fuzzy blanket instead.
@CharlieDoggo @gt0163c @Kyeh @tinamarie1974 @werehatrack Tank wasn’t kneading- he had Peanut’s scruff in his teeth. Peanut was like “Mom! Aren’t you gonna help me?”
@CharlieDoggo @gt0163c @Pony @tinamarie1974 @werehatrack
Oh!!! Pretty funny though, seeing how Peanut is about 3x Tank’s size! Did you rescue him?
@CharlieDoggo @gt0163c @Kyeh @tinamarie1974 @werehatrack Nah- he let go of her after a few minutes. Peanut may not have been quite full grown in that photo- she weighs about a hundred pounds now, and Tank still bosses her around. Our other dog Domino will stand still as a statue while Tank grooms him, and whine for more when he walks away.
@CharlieDoggo @gt0163c @Pony @tinamarie1974 @werehatrack It’s so funny how a small cat can dominate or terrorize enormous dogs!
Or even bears:
@CharlieDoggo @gt0163c @Kyeh @tinamarie1974 @werehatrack Maybe I should send Tank out to deal with the bear that’s been making a mess and trying to break into our chicken coops every night. (no, I wouldn’t really)
@CharlieDoggo @gt0163c @Kyeh @Pony @tinamarie1974 @werehatrack
That’s hilarious! Do you have a Instagram page for your crew?
You answered the question right there, but you know you’ll buy one anyway. The kit you receive might even cause instant regret!
OK, so WTaF. If it is random stuff how can each box be the same?
@chienfou RANDOM™, a proud part of the ScamCo line of As Seen On TV!!!™ products!
@chienfou

@chienfou If they tell you what is in it, its not a mystery anymore.
@chienfou @givemeyoursoul The real mystery is why anyone who has ever scored a Meh IRK would want to pony up this much for a MorningSave mystery box that doesn’t even come with value recovery coupons.
@givemeyoursoul
The mystery is NOT the issue… the (non)randomness IS!
@chienfou
They should stop wasting their time with these mystery boxes and pack and send out our IRKs from the last mehrathon.
@Felton10
/giphy stare
@Felton10 Oh, but the mystery boxes are from MorningSave, which is a completely different place.
@werehatrack SOS
This thread has gone to the dogs.
@Felton10 I think it’s for the birds.
@Kyeh I would never say that and you know why.
@Felton10 @Kyeh oh, are there more doggo’s on here? Who are they, maybe we can play fetch?!?!?!?!?! Woof!
@Felton10 I was just being catty.
@CharlieDoggo @Felton10
I don’t know about real dogs, but there’s some fairly dogged attempts to be funny. Some real howlers…
@Kyeh
Fur sure!
@chienfou @Kyeh you guys are really woofin’ it up!!
/giphy dog laugh
@CharlieDoggo @chienfou Oh, hey - CharlieDoggo, CHIEN FOU is a dog - be careful, though, he’s a bit mad!
@chienfou @Kyeh CHIEN FOU? Was that a sneeze? Dog bless you!!!
My prayers have been answered. My IRK has shipped.
@Felton10 Hey mine too!!! And it’s suppose to get here tomorrow!!! Yeaa!!!
@sunnysideup22 Mine to arrive on Sat. Maybe you’ll be lucky enough to be able to start the reveal thread.
@Felton10
Surprise, surprise! 
I’ll post it tomorrow when I can take pics. 
Mine said it was going to be here Thursday and it came early Wednesday instead!

not bad for a overpriced irk
@ironcheftoni not bad-not bad at all-maybe they were trying to reward people who purchased the boxes
@ironcheftoni
THANK YOU!!
Now THAT’S what I came here looking for!

@Lynnerizer well, if you dont get one. Let me know. As for watches, ive been wearing the same one for over 20 years. The jewelry store is regretting selling me the lifetime battery replacement
@Felton10 i don’t know. They said they were randomly packed just like irks but they did guarantee a minimum value based upon MS prices
@ironcheftoni When they were previous selling mystery boxes, each group type got the same type of items. That being said it appears some thought went into what you got and it was for the better that is for sure.
@ironcheftoni
Yeah they probably don’t expect people to use the same watch for that long. Obviously they don’t have people like US in mind! Lol
@Felton10 @ironcheftoni I need to post my homebody box. It was good too! One thing though, they did say that the boxes w/n a category would b the same. So anyone who ordered a homebody box should get exactly the same contents.
@ironcheftoni @tinamarie1974 Wonder now if since the cat (not the dog or bird) is out of the box as to what it contains that more people will order them if still available if they want some or all of those things.
