Can I make Purim for $3 too?
Yes, but it will take some work. Here's how:
1. Buy a Reisman's Hamantash and a mini chocholate bar for a dollar each, and put them in a bag.
2. When the first person comes to give you mishloach manos, give that to them.
3. Give mishloach manos you received from person 1 to person 2, but first take out one item.
4. Repeat step 3 for each additional person, making sure to keep taking out items.
5. Use all the items you swiped for your Purim seuda.
6. Make sure to also take out some alcohol, so you can be mekayaim Ad Delo Yada
7. After Shachris, take the remaining dollar (left from step 1) and use it as seed money. Hold it out, indicating that you are collecting.
8. After you get a few dollars from people, go over to your shul's gabbai and give it to him for matanos le'evyonim.
9. Use a permanent marker to create all your kids costumes.
Purim for $3.
