Title: Normal every day item that,you've over paid for on purpose. Post by: bsfins on May 18, 2012, 11:57:11 am I find everyone seems to have 1 or 2 things,(they bought or got as a gift),that are over priced for what they are.Most of the time they tend to be everday items.It's something you've paid a lot more than average amount for that product.
Example could be... An $25 pen,It might be a good,great pen,you love it...But most people like to use 10 for $2 pens... I think a Ferrari,or Lamborghini I guess could be examples....I don't think any of us have a Lambo :D It could be an appliance,alarm clock,cellphone case,a camera,a gaming mouse... I've got off the top of my head... -$100 Toaster - It's yellow and chrome,it matches my yellow kitchen,and happens to be be made by a company that I've got another one of their products and Love it. - $50 Stand up Honeywell fans- I got rid of those $15 noisy box fans,I always seemed like I'd buy new ones every year.The new fans also have filters,which Help living in an old dusty shack.

I sometimes buy the uber expensive pro ones for no real reason other than I can, when actually the ones best suited to my game are in the $20-35 range. Liquor would be another one probably. I often pay $25 for a bottle of Jack Daniels when I could just as easily spend $9 on a bottle of Ten High, shit even Jim Beam tops out at around $20 but I don't like it as much.

Bombay Sapphire works in a pinch, but I LOVE Hendrick's gin.

I buy special "extra-thick" bacon from a local butcher, and I order steaks from Omaha Steaks. Hats... If I find a hat (ballcap, Fedora, etc...) that I like, I don't care how expensive it is.

Get a high quality tonic (Fevertree, FTW!!!) and throw in some cucumber slices. You can thank me later. Title: Re: Normal every day item that,you've over paid for on purpose. Post by: Thundergod on May 21, 2012, 03:43:12 pm Just came in from a cruise where I paid 14.50 for a small bottle of Tylenol PM's. I about pissed my pants, but I REALLY needed them. F ME.

Off topic, but where did you go on your cruise. I'm thinking about taking one later this year. Never been on one and not sure if I want to go or not.....

I absolutely love cruises, no better way to spend a few days on vacation. Depending on your mood, you can participate in the numerous activities scheduled on the boat, relax, swim, gamble, dance, visit/shop the destinations, or go on excursions when you dock. I always recommend it to anyone who hasn't tried it. Good times.
