Warning!!! Aluma-Wallet SCAM!!!

Dear Readers,

The other day I was at Walgreens, waiting for the nice people to get me my happy pills, and I found this wallet, the Aluma Wallet. It looked really really cool. It was red, and it said it was indestructible, and it said that it was on TV! I wanted a new wallet because the pockets inside my old wallet are getting all ripped up and stuff. Plus, sometimes at work I get all wet when I spray out paint buckets with a pressure washer, and the water gets in my pants and my wallet is in my pants and so the stuff in my wallet gets wet. Well, the Aluma-Wallet said that it was water-resistant. That sealed the deal. I bought it. Thus began my misadventure with the Aluma-Wallet.

(I wish that the Aluma Wallet wasn't sold in plastic packages you couldn't open in the store. You know, usually in stores they let you look inside the wallet before you buy it. If I had been able to see inside it in Walgreens, I certainly would not have bought it.)

I thought that I would have the newest, coolest wallet ever. See, just look how cool the wallet looks:



And the wallet still looks pretty cool when you get it out of the package:


But watch what happens when you try to put money in the wallet and then close it:

It won't close! The wallet has to snap shut, and the wallet is so small that you can't even fit cash in it and then close it!

Well, there is actually a way to make cash fit in the wallet. You have to fold your dollar bills in thirds, like this:


Blaaarrrgghh! Who folds their cash in thirds? Nobody! Folding cash that way is really really annoying, and it takes too long, and I didn't want to do it, so I returned the wallet to Walgreens and I got my twelve dollars back.

Oh, and I was just kidding about taking happy pills. I don't take medication to alter my mood or to control my mental state. I don't see a counselor either. Not that that's anything to brag about. It's none of your business why I was at Walgreens, OK?!

Sorry if I seem like I'm in a foul mood. I'm really not in a foul mood. And I don't need any pills to put me in a better mood, if that's what you're thinking. I just like to buy good products that turn out to be everything they were promised to be in the commercials. Is that so much to ask?

Sincerely,
Telemoonfa

It is inconvenient to fold the money, but, overall, the wallet keeps the items tidy. I fold the bills and secure them in a slot next to one of my cards.

"stop complaining, and buy a real wallet."

but the person used a little bit of profanity, so I deleted it and gave you this edited version.

You'll all be happy to know that I did indeed buy a real wallet, and am very happy with it.

To the above commenter : No a wallet hold cards as well as bills. If not, then its not a wallet.
Thanks for this helpful review. I really appreciate your honestly. Now others won't be ripped off. I wanted this after I saw the add on tv, but now I can save my money.
