Not buying yet but looking at boats, condo's in florida, and classic cars.
Considering the strange things I've imbibed over the last few decades under the name of "coffee", I have a hard time spending money for more than a Mr. Coffee. But at least now I'm filling it with Kona.We got our own coffee machine about 6 months ago and absolutely love it. Cost about $250, ours is a nespresso machine - costs about 52 cents for each coffee pod. Have to say since we got it we have cut way back on going out for coffee so it has well and truly paid for itself.
Haven't been into "stuff" for ages. I'm probably the only poster who doesn't own an Ipod. Buy my CD's at GW or SA. $1 or $2 at most. Have WAY more than I can ever listen to.
Nords, color it brown and call it coffee and I'm happy with it--it has to be oil change waiting room bad for me not to drink it. /quote]
I was the world's worst coffee maker until I bought my grind & brew now my coffee is pretty good . At $99.00 it has paid for itself many times over .
I prefer drinking the 5 AM wake-up brew that was made at 9 PM in a 40-cup percolator filled by a two-cup measuring scoop out of a 20-pound coffee can into a leaky metal filter and left to simmer all night on a steam turbine... preferably into a coffee cup that hadn't been cleaned since the [-]last refueling overhaul[/-] beginning of the deployment.Nords, color it brown and call it coffee and I'm happy with it--it has to be oil change waiting room bad for me not to drink it.
Like you I don't own an iPod, and I only own 10 music CD's. I bought them back in 2000, when I bought a car with a CD player - - then realized I never listen to them, so I haven't bought any more.
I'm not entirely unmaterialistic, though. My daughter was playing "Animal Crossing" on her Wii when I visited her in Oregon last weekend. I really want to play that game!! I might even buy it today after work. It just came out, so it isn't a recession bargain at all, unfortunately.
I don't know what recession bargains I might encounter and buy, though as I mentioned in a previous post, I'd love a treadmill and possibly there could be more for sale from people who need a little spare cash.
Who says the credit crunch had to be a terrible thing?DW & I got to WW & in the line at 0745. Manager came down the line a few minutes later counting & told us we were #45 & 46 in linne and that he had received 44 on the truck. So we waited & turns out we got the last two (2 people's credit cards didn't clear - is that a sign of the times? or just normal?)
I am waiting for the local golf club memberships to begin coming down in price. Has anyone seen evidence of a buyer's market for country clubs??
Would you give a report on this? Is it fun? Do you get good exercise using it?
Ha
AR-15 with 1000 rds of .223.
Got the AR-15 on order, need to get the ammo now.
Long waiting list on AR-15s due to the huge surge in firearms buying. Prolly can't find ammo either.
Nothing really - maybe a new recliner. For the TV shoppers, I think I saw coupons off several tvs in the newest Costco coupon mailer thing that came out last weekend. Since I'm not shopping for one, I didn't actually look into it, but if you're shopping for a new set, you might check.
