The Friday Four #29: Costly Edition

30/11/2007

I like to buy things, for me, for other people, but mostly for me. Some things I skimp on, some things I’ll pay top dollar for.

1) What non-essential item are you not willing to compromise on?
2) What takes up more of your time than it should?
3) Coupons? (that’s for you, Tina)
4) Karma’s got a pretty good price, too. How’s she treating you?

Happy Friday. Happy End of November. Happy almost Chistmahanukwanzaka.

    1. Candles. It doesn’t phase me one bit to spend $60 on a candle. Is that bad?

    2. Lately, thinking of the lessons learned. I should stop dwelling. I’ll give myself another week.

    3. Only when Tina gives them to me from her big ass book of Entertainment Coupons.

    4. She’s being a bit of a bitch at the moment, but I’m convinced with a little time she’ll come around and see things my way.

    1. Running shoes (hint, hint) – I wouldn’t buy cheap running shoes but everything else I’ll search high and low for a discount.

    2. The internet but in a good way. Trying to be rich son!

    3. I am the coupon queen next to Heather’s mom. No shame in my game.

    4. Karma is the only thing I can’t use a coupon on so I try to use it wisely and positively.

    1. Pirate shit. There you go. Hi, um, $60 for my skull and crossbones belt.
    2. HAHAHA. The Boys. My Boys. The Vortex. I’m not a groupie.
    3. No coupons. I don’t do coupons. I love a great deal, but I don’t do coupons.
    4. Karma. I’ve got good karma I think. Karma’s my buddy.

    1. Anything computer related. Computer gear.
    2. Um, not Christy. Christy hates me. Um, work.
    3. I’m not ashamed to use coupons.
    4. Shitty. It’s all Christy’s fault too. I blame Christy for my karmic bad luck.

    1. Ooh, watches. I don’t use them to tell time, but more as a piece of man-jewelery.
    2. Work as well. Anyone who spends most of their evenings in hotel can understand.
    3. I can’t rememeber the last time I used one, but I’m not opposed.
    4. Good, very good. When you donate towards good, it tends to come back.
