ok.. el cheapo grande here shall toss his coupon for 2 cents in, but if no one wants it I will take it back when I am done. :haha:
I have 2 homes on one chunk of property my whole tax bill combined is about 600 bucks a year. Outragous "rent" paid to my communist masters.
sales tax is 6%, but one county over it is 7%.
$500 is my top limit for a car/truck, but i confess The last one I paid 700 for, but its an atique, so that was ok.
When heating oil rose above 85 cents a gallon I ripped out the furnace and sold it for 150 bucks and installed a woodstove.
$1.50 for a tin box of altiods is hyway robbery, so I make one tin last a month by breaking the altiods in 2.
Coffee is to expensive at 7 bucks a 3 pound can, i drink hot water. I just scored some repacked FULL 5 pound bags of mixed columbian dark and some other mild coffe, for 3 bucks a bag.... its really good, I can live with three bucks. the almost new coffee perker was 2 bucks at the 2nd hand store, very nice, all stainless not aluminum that makes the coffe taste funny. for 5 bucks I will drink coffee till late springtime.
Dont ask me to leave my driveway unless you have gas$$. I dont take myself places I wanna go because our bombs were defective... huh? well we dropped a lot of em and the price went down to 1.35 a gal, then shot back up to 1.65 a gal. the bombs obviously didnt do the job, I say use a nuke maybe itll stick. WIAT! better yet lets buy that super cheap oil from west africa...nah, we would rather pay twice what its worth and buy it from the arabs. :no:
Why buy tires when half used tires are ina pile beside the gas station for FREE. Now that I use 16" tires, its amazing how many almost new 16 inch tires people toss out. as a used tire connasuir, I will tell you the hardest good tires to find are 14", better chance finding 15" and you can eat your fill of fine ones at 16". forget finding 12 and 13", people run those off the rims. I am proud to sayI have never bought a new tire, ever. I had a new set once but thats because the different tire tread bugged my GF and she wouldnt use the car to go to work in so whe came home with a new set of pep boy specials... that was more than 3 yrs ago I am still running them, but they are getting close to replacement day.
Any food item over 3 bucks is to rich for my system, I either will become spoiled ot it will give me cramps eating it. Unless i can devide it into pieces and make it last more than one setting. Foods a tricky thing, but in general its all overpriced.
my cable internet is 60 bucks a month... I cut it after a few months and I only have it now because my nephew wanted it, and for hoooking it up and keeping his computer running my fee is full access, but I'm not totally cheap I did buy the router. :haha:
Forget new clothes... 30 bucks for a pair of jeans?? i'll wait a month till you tire of them and toss em in the goodwill bin, and then buy them for $1.50, by then they are shrunk streached and broken in.
the only thing I dont skimp on cashwise is shoes and underoos, (shoes are pretty overpriced too) but if you havent got sound feet your a doorstop, right? and no one wants to wear second hand skivvies or socks, not even me.
everthing is expensive....
as my sister says "If sh1t whas valuable, the poor would be born without ice-holes."
