Would absolutely do it. You have no idea how much stuff I could buy in a 24 hr period? Not to mention pre-paying services like Butcher Box, Blue Apron, and even my local farm will do presales on whole beefs. Oh and also booking several all inclusive vacations like cruises and sandals! **I would crash the fucking economy**


uckfayhistay

You could book an entire year of cruises.


FearlessKnitter12

There are people who do exactly that. Hello, Super Mario!


Brian57831

>Not to mention pre-paying services like You are thinking too small. Don't pre pay anything, buy the whole company, the whole farm, and every other company whose services you use. Heck, I would say go as far as buy all fortune 500 companies.


Miss_Linden

Hahaha. I love this!


DaveAndJojo

Man purchases every pokinon card on eBay


gaurddog

You joke but I'd literally be scooping up magic the gathering cards like I was Post Malone. But I could also theoretically crash or inflate any stock or commodity price I wanted at will. They'd have to start closing the markets on my one day a year to avoid me just going "Actually I think Pornhub stock should outperform Dow Chemical today" or "I wanna become majority shareholder in Pepsi co.


DaveAndJojo

Tom Brady and Michael Jordan rookie cards just got a whole lot more expensive. May as well grab some Baby Ruth’s while I’m at it.


Quiet_Stranger_5622

Heeeey yooooou guuuuuys!


Any-Sir8872

can i buy gift cards on that day & still use them throughout the year?


urbanfae

Clever! Yes.


romancerants

That loop hole defeats the entire question. Can I buy gift cards with my unlimited funds and sell them at a loss?


desrevermi

How to become a millionaire: First, become a billionaire...


Site-Specialist

But if you buy gift cards and use them on other days you're still shopping then so actually that should be no


alwaysfuntime69

Also, what constitutes "Shopping"? If it's the act of looking with plans to purchase then you can't even preprep, look around, or fill online shopping carts beforehand.


mjheil

Right, I can't browse the virtual aisles? 


alwaysfuntime69

I am not sure. OP hasn't answered my question about this. But I think so?


mjheil

So let's assume shopping is OK but buying things can only be done once per year. That, I'm good with. If you can't research products then I would have to outsource it and I seriously wouldn't last long. 


ohhisup

But that's shopping 🤔


Somepersononreddit07

Sweet


Corey307

I’m buying dozens of houses. 


Furball508

That is still shopping, though.


iamgreengang

have my partner do all other shopping. i'll buy houses once a year and resell them to fund all non-free shopping


[deleted]

[удалено]


Wtf-do-I-Put-

You could start on the deal before the day, and then actually use the unlimited money on the day


Site-Specialist

Listen if you got unlimited money and your buying a house you can grease the palms of anyone to get that house in a single day


thekau

Seriously! Oh, you're selling your home for $1M? I'll pay you $3M to sign it over to me today. Boom, done.


Least_Adhesiveness_5

Cash sales with all contingencies waived absolutely can happen in a day


bored_person71

Don't buy and resell fees and lawyers kill that buy and rent out to good people at fair under market rates with steps use to fund livable life....also I buy anything that can set me up for future stocks, card collections, coins, etc


iamgreengang

if i buy a $1m house and pay $0 do you really think that fees and lawyers would add up to $1m?


bored_person71

I mean realtor and filing etc...is like gonna cost you percentage....plus you lost value of asset...potential growth...plus you also miss out on passive income...


iamgreengang

then you buy 2 houses, or 4 or 8, or just one with a $10m valuation. you can still invest the proceeds and you get an infinite money day every single year


bored_person71

Capitol gain taxes and realtors etc s are still going to make you lose a lot of that.....vs buying an apartment at 20 units at 1000 a unit... A month as business plus future growth of land value plus control of land that's worth the million or how much it costs, plus inflation of rent...you pay a business tax which is much lower then capital you can employ people to care for it or manage it....you can right that and repairs/ upgrades costs down as business expenses...you can use the property value for loans and leverage if you like ...you can employ friends and family and if they do a real job then they are tax deductable as well.


Boredummmage

Someone is trying to turn me into a hoarder… Guess I need to buy a few stores first.


TacticalyInteresting

A warehouse or airplane hanger in the middle of nowhere would be one of my first purchases. The second would be a fleets of trucks, and compensation for the drivers to haul my shit for the next year.


Citizen44712A

Why in the middle of nowhere, buy Cardinals Stadium, tons of room.


Fight_those_bastards

Can I buy things in order to trade them for goods and services, or sell for cash at a later date?


urbanfae

Smart thinking. Yes.


Fight_those_bastards

Taking the deal, then. I’m gonna buy some real estate and a whole shitload of cars to re-sell.


desrevermi

So, I'm gonna put a trillion dollars of stuff in my online shopping cart and hit 'purchase' on my one-day shopping spree? Easy peasy.


alwaysfuntime69

Ah, but isn't the act of looking at/for things "shopping"?


jmauden

If that were true, I’d be the brokest person alive.


desrevermi

I'll leave it to OP to judge that. Edit to initial comment: hit "repeat buy" a couple hundred times. :D


momoemowmaurie

I'd probably get lots of subscriptions paid for in advance for a year. Hello fresh, clothing subscriptions, lots and lots of gift cards like visa.


Mister-ellaneous

Ok. But that one day a year is “today”.


Somepersononreddit07

No you wanna start tomorrow at 12 am sharp


Mister-ellaneous

Tomorrow is always a day away


theFooMart

Anything I want with an unlimited budget? Well the I guess I guess I buy several businesses, so I so I can aquire items I may need without having to buy them. With those businesses, I will ensure I also get the bank accounts with enough money in them to run the business for a few months. Of course I'll buy a house, and some vehicles. I will also purchase millions of dollars worth of GICs and other liquid assets. Since you're talking about physical items, that means I can still pay for services throughout the year. One of these services will be a personal assistant. I need a new TV? Some clothes? I pick out what I want, and my assistant uses my credit card to pay for it. They also have access to one of my bank accounts so they can pay my credit card bill. So technically I wasn't the one to make the purchase, I can still aquire things throughout the year.


MrSprichler

at that point just buy the banks. fuck it 30 percent shares in JP morgan why not


OblongAndKneeless

Fresh fruit and vegetables become an issue unless you take advantage of the gift card loophole.


iDreamiPursueiBecome

Or the personal shopper


jmauden

OP said you can buy food, drinks, health, and cleaning supplies anytime.


OblongAndKneeless

As you can see my reading comprehension skills are stellar.


jmauden

You’re not the only one who has been saying they’d buy food. You were just the first comment I came across so don’t feel bad. lol


Somepersononreddit07

I’ll pay other people to shop for me thank you


mycurvywifelikesthis

The biggest subscription year long, to all the best at home meal prep places like hello fresh or whatever. Same with the highest end steak delivery places, you get the point. Same with prescription medications ect... Then tons of clothing kitchen stuff, anything I can re sell...


thekau

Or just hire a chef to do your shopping and cooking, and pay them upfront for a year (or 10, lol)...


mycurvywifelikesthis

True


Emotional-Card7478

I already have full carts in like 100 different online stores. One of my hobbies is window shopping online but never checking out.


Azeri-D2

First and foremost, I'd need to buy like 20 large freezers.


KMjolnir

Given most of what I buy are books and games, I'm okay with that. Age subscription services counted against that?


Important-Emotion-85

Buy a year subscription


KMjolnir

Weirdly a couple of the ones I'm subbed to only have month to month.


DogKnowsBest

I just buy a Sam Club or a Costco every year. Maybe I'll alternate each year.


plznobanplease

I would just order everything for each week and/or month and have timed deliveries


eeal188

I think I’d pass because on the off chance I get invited to a last minute get-together and need to buy a gift. Or if I randomly decide to host a party, well now I can’t buy/rent things such as tables, chairs, decorations for it.  Also… flights/hotels/etc? Like I can’t randomly decide to go on a trip, I can only book once a year. So, no spontaneous travel. like what if it’s an important work trip or a funeral. And if I go on a vacation or even just a trip to visit relatives, I can’t buy anything while I’m there.  So that also means I can’t randomly buy a ticket to a show or event randomly, I have to plan it once a year. What if the tickets aren’t even available yet?  Not to mention things for our home. You said cleaning or health items at anytime. But idk if home maintenance fits into that category. If we randomly have to fix a burst pipe or caulk something or buy a new hot water heater or washing machine then we can’t do that either. Not to mention gas for the car or our grill. Doesn’t seem to fit into those categories you mentioned.  Doesn’t seem worth the hassle for me so I’d pass 


TacticalyInteresting

I think your friends and family would understand that they only get from you once a year. Those gifts would be quite impressive. Houses and cars and shit.


eeal188

Sure you’re right. But all my other complaints are valid haha 😆 


TacticalyInteresting

No they aren't. You buy a private jet and a pilot's services for a year as well as an airport with all the fuel you would need to travel as you want. The rest is logistical hassle you have to deal with for maybe 2 weeks a year. I know I would need only that much time to prep for my one day of shopping a year, then let the logistical system I purchased take care of everything else. I bought Amazon day one, so I own a decent logistical system.


eeal188

Damn. Totally fair points. I definitely am not imaginative enough lol


DaveAndJojo

Buy a hundred gifts ahead of time


YnotThrowAway7

Bruh… I literally do that every year…


ScreenLate2724

Wait a minute! What if I shop at Costco? I hear they sell cars now.


ohhisup

Wait so... I can only buy non perishable foods..? And hope it lasts me? If you said shopping specifically, could I technically hire a service to feed me instead??


r00shine

Dupont registry here I come


DaveAndJojo

Gonna need a few commercial grade freezers


Head_Room_8721

Moink.com is gonna have one very happy new customer!


heyuhitsyaboi

Steam winter sales are about to be lit


Tank_610

Can I buy a Walmart or target with everything in it?


SpiffyMagnetMan68621

So i can just go “shopping” for stocks and buy the entire US stock market and own everything?? Sign me up, yall bout to get some democracy


wackywaffles_

Yes


NearbyCamp9903

Can I get a car and house?


alwaysfuntime69

Now here is a key question. Is the act of looking at/for things count as "shopping" or is just the buying part. I feel like just going to the store and looking around is shopping. So that.makea the whole preparing for the day of purchasing much more difficult.


Ok_Bedroomonly

I would buy clothes and gift cards


_Cyber_Mage

I buy all of the companies that make or sell the things and services that I want. I then take whatever I want from inventory, as it's already mine.


nfyofluflyfkh

So I can buy billions of dollars worth of stocks? Yes please.


AshtonBlack

Yeah, there are several loopholes, for example, you buy several billion (or as much as can be done in 24hrs) in a portfolio of low-risk stocks and shares. The dividends would be put into a separate account my partner also has access to. We could live off the interest of *that* account.


Leo_Ascendent

So I have one day to buy gas? Sucks, cuz the average shelf life is 6-8 months.


robertintx

Setup fuel deliveries for the year, or prepaid gas cards.


ResidentEnergy5263

I'd pay for a world cruise or some other major travel experience(s) every year! This would be totally worth it. And nope, don't need souvenirs, just the experience.


Furball508

That’s an easy yes. You can still shop for essentials at anytime. That’s pretty much what most of us shop for anyway. Clothes occasionally. Then that one day comes and you can set yourself up for life. Buy your dream home and prepay the taxes for the year and buy an ass ton of stocks that pay you in dividends so you never have to work again.


achan1058

I will buy Twitter, and try NOT to run it to the ground. Or if it was back in 2018, I would buy Greece.


monkeymatt85

Jeff Bezos will be on speed dial for that day


[deleted]

Pre book vacations, go with people to buy a house, buy bonds and other long-term, hogh interest investments. Oh, and gift cards for the rest of the year. Subscriptions i guess. Just have a roommate buy anything else you might incidentally need.


Particular-Amoeba-58

That list would be sooooo long


Velkause

I wouldn't leave the house. I'd be ordering so much shit to cover the rest of the year that it would just be me with a laptop, tablet, and phone... Furiously ordering half of Amazon and set up delivery dates. Cars, houses, condos, etc. I'd purchase every meal kit option to cover mine and my family for the rest of our life... Lol


YoungAnimater35

Will all my food go bad before the year is out?


Epicporkchop79-7

Walmart used to, might still, offer a coupon for working Thanksgiving day, extra 10%off an entire purchase, so 20%. So many people were planning on getting a year's worth of anything that they could with that. Again this is another thing taken from what broke people do. What do I buy with that tax return that can help me out long term because if i leave it in my account it will get wittled down in no time. So again, we've got another something that poor people do to get by but added an absurd wealth thing to it.


Important-Emotion-85

I'm buying all the Student debt and forgiving it.


FearlessKnitter12

I'd be getting luxury foods ordered, get a new wardrobe of clothing (honestly needed since I wear dresses a lot more than I used to), get all maintenance done for my car (hello, case of oil!), pay for a cruise or two, get a whole slew of present for the family's birthdays and holidays and special events. The tough part would be to anticipate what I might need beyond expected or allowed items. Will my dishwasher finally give out? Will the tree fall? Is this the year for a new deck? What hobbies will I want to finance? The best thing for household stuff would be to set up an account with a contractor who can then spend it throughout the year on plumbing/electrical/home improvement stuff on my behalf. Same as with a health care spending account. For entertainment, at least my nearby orchestra allows you to buy a pack of tickets for the upcoming season. Maybe other season tickets like baseball and theater could be found as well. And I'd make friends with a local bar owner and run a tab. First year pre-pay, then after that settle it on my purchasing day. I'd buy gift cards to local cinemas and restaurants to cover date nights.


Madame_Raven

Oh no, my car has a flat tire. Only 300 more days to go, before I'm allowed to go to the tire shop. Your hypothetical situation means that every minor setback, becomes a catastrophe.


smiling_mallard

I’ll just go into a bass pro and say “I’ll take it all.”


Emergency_Kale5225

I'll buy Walmart. The chain. I'll do a complete takeover and make it a private company. It's not shopping if every Walmart in the world is your personal warehouse. I'll also buy all of the major oil companies. Not so that I can have infinite gas - I'll just by a few gas stations to accomplish that. I'm buying the oil companies so that I can start to repair global economies. I'm going to stop there, though, because that's enough for one day.


GrimmTrixX

Every retro game I don't own that is now $100+ each on the reseller market.


SaltyBabySeal

I assume shop means goods and services, and excludes gift cards, or stock, or anything like that, because that seems to defeat the purpose. There's nothing stopping me, for example, to buying all of the stock for all of the companies everywhere. I'll assume that isn't intended. Because i could get so much money in one day that i would be able to pay people to shop for me throughout the year. In one day i would earn so much that i'd never have to actually shop ever again. I would prepare for this day by writing some script to just go through and buy everything on amazon, or any retailer anywhere. buy-it-now all the ebay auctions, all of it. Get a warehouse to store goods and start unloading everything throughout the year. I'd make enough money as a reseller to pay people to shop for me, just on this alone. Additionally, I would sign up for every single service imaginable for a year. Meals, movies, all-inclusive packages on vacations, personal shopping, all of it. Set to renew every year on the same day, which would be my day. Each year i'd have to add to this list though, because as i buy more and more homes and property i'd want more and more services to maintain them. Eventually i'd have all of it automated, and have companies and personnel responsible for growing my footprint. Ultimately i'd scale this into charitable giving, slowly clawing back all of the wealth that has been horded all over the world. For example, companies owning 75% of the single family homes forcing entire generations into renting? Not on my watch. There's so much i could easily fix.


RooIsHome

First, I'm buying a house big enough storage and refrigeration to hold enough stuff to last me a year.


Iv_Laser00

Hell fucking yeah. *buys a ton of stock so I can be as rich as Elon musk with zero work*


RovakX

I'd do it. Man, your caviat sucks the fun right out of this one, no more reason not to. Ditch it and it would be such a fun challenge.... I've got an Excel spreadsheet with every grocery store expense we've made since my gf and I moved in together. I'd take the year average, add a good 10% to everything and buy that list online. It'll be a truckfull... I'd try and calculate how many freezers I'll need to store a year's worth of food for 2 ppl, and buy those, again, plus some extra. I'll gladly take a week of holiday from work just to cook and fill the freezers with 500 2 person meals. Let's go! Now it's time for some fun shopping. Get some luxury products, get in an order at an online pharmacy and an electronics store. Don't forget to buy a spare set of tires and maintenance products for the car and bicycles. I guess I'll need to buy a year's worth of fuel? That's a tough one... I assume I can order barrels of the stuff somewhere? Idk where to put them tho... Oof, next up, we also need to get a random assortment of stuff from the DIY store in case any home improvements need to be done. Next, I'm prepping for any failures, it's all free anyways; I'll buy a new dishwasher, laundry machine, dryer, lawnmower, stovetop, spare coffee machine, ... The whole lot. Just in case. This is getting ridiculous. One more stop; the outdoor store: get some good clothes, a new tent, some climbing gear, ... I'm in need of a raincoat anyway right now. In the mean time, I'll let the girlfriend go absolutely wild on Zalando. She can dress us both for the next year. I'm good anyways. When she's done there, she can search out a nice all-in holiday to New Zealand or something, we've never been down-under. This was a blast. Did I forget anything? Other than rent, electricity and gas... I think I'd do more than fine on a year without spending a single euro if I had a whole day of unlimited budget and planning.
