With the first books coming out in pretty soon (and
collectibles soon after) it’s time to bring down that Piggy Bank and start saving! 
The question then
becomes: How are you saving for Pixar’s next film? I get a small allowence and scrub some money off my
Grandparents currently. This only amounts to about 50$ on June 29th, so I think I need to find a job, quick!
My Target: 200$! 
Haha – I should have expected a discussionary topic like
this. 
Well, here is my current plan:
1) Save
around $200+ for the Star Wars: Celebration IV Convention in
May
2) Use the money I have left over to purchase particular
Ratatouille items (toys, books, t-shirts,
etc.)
3) Spend the remaining dough on
Ratatouille theater tickets (including those for the premiere of the film at the
El Capitan theater in Hollywood)
Right now I have about the amount I want. I
plant to buy a Yoda lightsaber at the Star Wars convention this year, and I know
that that will take at least $120 dollars out of my pay check. After that, I’ll just try and save up to $400
bucks or more that I will use solely for Ratatouille-related merchandise.
Not that I’ll need that much money to purchase a few “ratty” items, but I’m a geek
here…sooo…
Mitch - Your post was great, (and it’s my fault I didn’t make this clear) but
more of a how your making this money, as opposed to how your going to spend it (if you should wish to disclose).
Gasduude - Ohh…I see what you mean! Heheh – my mistake.
Well in that
case, I work at a local farmer’s market in which I get paid $30-40 a week. Not bad, considering I’m not a big
money spender at all. And also, my mom owes me big: $800+ dollars (long story). But I’m not complaining. I’m
just letting her take her time in paying me back. No problem with me.
Mitch - (Hee) No problem!
30 to 40
dollars!? A week!? Wow, that’s a fortune to me…I need to get off my rear end and get a job!
I wish I could make money like that. Maybe selling my drawings. I
have some really terrific stuff.
I’m just
gonna work for it- I’ve worked at a chain of shoe shops called Clarks since my 16th birthday last November, and
the wages are pretty good; around ?150 ($300-ish) a month, but since I don’t really plan on buying much
merchandise apart from a soft toy or two, and obviously seeing the film itself, I don’t think I’ll need to save
up too much.
To tell you the truth, I am not saving for anything. I am
just waiting for the movie to come out, then my family and I just go and watch it.
[i]Meet
The Robinsons[/i] made a huge dent in my wallet. I easily spent over $150 on merchandise the day I
saw the movie, and I’ve purchased 4 more books since then.
Ratatouille is
approximately 2? months away, so saving up for it won’t be a problem.
~~=oP
I’m still saving for Cars die-casts and a Doc plushie !
Well , my parents usually buy the tickets
, and since I only see any movie in theater once or twice , it won’t put that big of a dent in my wallet .
Beside , I’m not exited as much about ratatouille as I was about Finding Nemo or cars , so I probably won’t get
anything .
But if I am , I’m saving up my allowance , which is only $5 bucks a week , but the only thing
I’ve needed to buy that I wanted over the past year is a book that was $3 and my $400 laptop . My parents always
buy me what I want on my birthday or on Chrismas or hannakuh . I’m so spoiled ! 
I
don’t think I will save for any merchandise. Maybe a little plush remy for when I graduate this year of school
for my english teacher, but nothing much.
All I want is a Linguini, and Remy plush toy but I
haven’t seen all of the toys yet, but I might buy a couple more of cute things as well. I also want a little
Remy and Linguini figurine to put on the top of my computer, next to my Woody figurine. Maybe I’ll also get a
little Remy plush toy for my car.
As of right now I am just planning to spend
$7.50 to see the movie at the theatre
I just got another 10 dollars. I’m going to put it in my savings to see the movie!!!
I still have
contest money left over, and I was wondering how to spend it though I wanted to save it … I just spent most of
it on Pixar merchandise, so I’ll bet I’ll use the rest on seeing the film and buying toys. ^^
