A few days ago, I posted on essentials that you should NOT cheap out on. Well, as there is good and bad, hot and cold, O'Brien and Leno, there shall be a list of things to cheap out on. Again, in no particular order, and feel free to add your own in the comments.10. SUNGLASSES...They just break, or you lose them anyway. Get a cheap knock-off, and no one will care, or make fun of you for buying 300 dollar glasses.
9. VALENTINE'S DAY CRAPFEST...this is the worst holiday, and just a money-grabber for 'the man'. Use it as an excuse to give cheesey or homemade gifts. Expensive Laura Secord or Bernard Callebaut Chocolates are so '90's/ high school girlfriend. Also, no one needs 1 dozen roses. 1 is sufficient, unless she is 'one of those girls'. (just kidding back there, girls.)
8. TOOTHPASTE...I recommend 9 out of 10 dentists to shut up.
7. PIZZA...there's greasy and there's thin, there's cheesey and there's dry. You know you're going to eat it anyway, and most pizza places offer pretty cheap pizza deals.
6. WINGS...no wings are healthy. You might as well pay 10 cents as compared to 35.
5. BOOKS...you know you feel cool and emo going into a used book store. don't deny it.
4. SHAMPOO/TOILET PAPER...tie here...buy cheap, it's all the same.
3. BIRTHDAY PRESENTS FOR KIDS UNDER 4...they like the boxes better anyway, so don't splurge on something great that they don't care about.
2. MOVIE TICKETS...with all the crap out there, why not just rent a movie? and if you have to have to (yes, double time) go, then go on cheap night if it exists, or to a matineé. When I left Calgary, movies were about 15 dollars to go and see.
1. T-SHIRTS... I haven't boughten a new t shirt in years...used is the way to go...unless you want to buy used-looking-but-new-shirts at the gap.
