I was just thinking, there are some things that you just can't go cheap on.... the obvious ones are like, condoms, parachutes, etc....they are all different for everyone so what are yours?

Cereal - can't stand the generic cereals... suck
Bread - can't stand the hard, dry crappy bread
Chocolate Milk - hershey syrup, and nesquik only!!!
Paintballs - They break if you go cheap, so dont
Writable Cd's - the paint chips off, dont go cheap
tooth paste/ tooth brush - dunno why, just can't do it
DVD players - can't do the cheap thing, picture quality DOES suck with the $30 ones

that's all I can think of for now... what about you?

Dr. Pepper. Dr. Thunder and other cheap incarnations suck. The only replacement for Dr. Pepper is Mr. Pibb.

Cheap Sushi. Definitely be wary of that. But then again, over-expensive sushi is also bad.

Really cheap used video games. It's not like the old era where everything was cartridge. Now you can get some mighty-nasty scratched games that don't work. I bought Halo for $5 and it doesn't load the Pillar of Autumn, but that's about it.

I guess it was worth it for $5.

Oh and clothes. Especially pants. Having pants rip open to start your day is one of the greatest feelings in the world. Thank god for gym strips.

Cola - Pepsi is best, Coke is ok
Reese's peanut butter cups - the other brands are NO comparison
Frozen pizza - it is hard to do pizza right anyway

Yeah, instant coffee that comes in packets is disgusting. I don't even know why they make that stuff.

Yeah.

Hence Starbucks.

And I cant go cheap on clothes....I just cant.....Its horrible. I payed 92 bucks for my pants....And 25 bucks for my Corona hat.

But I also cant cheap out on dates. Like, not...the fig....but the thing where you go out with a girl. I cant cheap out on those. I have to buy everything. Unless its one of those "cute stay at home in the backyard because its purdy" kind of dates.

i buy my clothes pretty much exclusively at JC pennies... because I love arizona jeans

Well I've gone dutch on dates plenty of times and it hasn't affected me. My karma is good.

It's all in your attitude.

Stamps. You can't go cheap on stamps. Even though they are quite inexpensive to begin with (like 33 cents or something), I always buy the premium stamps which go for a $1.50 each. And if they have a picture or theme I like, I go for the $3.00 stamps.
