Perhaps a bad title.

I was in a "Superstore" today while my car got an oil change. I was thinking, "This is first time I haven't had a volleyball since age 10." (LOVE!!! the game!!!!!!). My Nephew is 10 and thought it might be cool to see if he is interested.

I had a "PFFFFFT" moment when I tried to (bump) the cheap knock-off plastic ball. It was 5 FREEGIN bucks! I should have gotten the toy.

I'm a savvy shopper. I look for deals and don't mind "some" generics, but TP and bread....only the best will do!


Are there some small creature comforts or "extravagances" you just can NOT go with out?

If you smell a guy (or girl) wearing Aqua Velva (cheap cologne for you youngins)...Is it a deal breaker?

I don't mind what a woman smells like on the outside. It only matters what she smells like on the inside. Isn't that what everybody says. Oh well, it's something like that.

Although............. I have to admit I do like smelly girly perfume that matches the woman. It is very intoxicating to be nibbling on a hot neck and breathe in some romance. Mmmmmmmmmmmm. Excuse me for a little while I'll be back.

I'm sorry you were talking about a plastic ball.... Or the high prices for plastic balls.

Walmart might carry that?

I will admit I don't skimp on my coffee..
I like my dark roasted blend that is from Raven's brew
right up here in AK..



Perfume wear one brand and only one brand have for years..

so yeah on somethings I guess I am an elitist others not near enough...


I don't think a scent would be a deal breaker unless it is unbathed bad breath etc..

He might get a new one for a surprise gift

Most of the time I try to buy things on sale. I buy some generic brands. I do like good coffee. I like fresh vegetables and fruit from the farmer's market when I can get it. I really dislike perfumes and colognes of all kinds.

Oh yes yes yes, forgot coffee, DUH! If my grinder breaks, I will be in a very bad mood for a time!!

I will try not use Eau de Regret cologne OR toothpaste around you.

I want my chicken fried my ketchup Heinzed, my bourbon bottle made of glass

Sweet Baby Ray's goes on my ribs, and only Charmin touches my azz.....


....everything else is negotiable.

Sweet Baby Ray will touch yo azz in a different way!!!

Sorry Bro...too much time in the pen.

Yah, that's some good sauce.

I like good chocolate. I can't have the cheap stuff.

No worries

Good coffee only ...

Perfume, never cheap chit. I really hate cheap perfumes / colognes / after shaves. I can actually smell the chemical chit undertones that are in it. Some literally make me feel sick.

Fabric softener --> I really don't like it when ppl pass me by in a shop/street and I can smell the 1-Euro-a-gallon-cheap-stuff. Yuk. It even smells cheap. I only ever got good, nice smelling softener.

Good shampoo & conditioner (silicone & parabene free) ... Cheap shampoo makes my hair look like a dead bird's nest

Bread, I eat spelt only ... my body doesn't like wheat so much, and it's not healthy either.

Kiwis --> The cheaper ones aren't from Kiwi-land and taste like crap.

Tobacco ... NO WAY skimp on my (rolling) tobacco!!! I'd sooner go for cheaper coffee for once, NEVER tobacco!!! ... Okay, I don't smoke Drum anymore, too expensive, but I don't go for the cheapest either because it really doesn't taste nice. The brand I smoke is made by Drum and is great.


Other than that I think I'm good. Looks like I'm quite fussy as it is

Oh, and coconut oil! BUt that isn't so expensive anymore, even Aldi sells it.
Odor and flavourless coconut oil to fry and to put on bread (instead of margarine). If I so much as smell (liquid) margarine, I lose my appetite.
Real funny that once you're used to healthy stuff, the bad stuff you've been reared with actually makes you feel sick.

Oh my Goodness...... if my coconut oil isn't..."just so"!!

I don't drink much soda so store brand I fine ok .

Tea .. Don't even think about it !!

butter not margarine..

Sheets, pillow cases and towels....gotta be 5 star hotel quality....which means 800 thread counts plus......cotton....and scotch has to be brewed and aged in Scotland....after shave only Avon is good for my skin....the rest is up in the air...

I would never skimp of my skin care....n it hasn't failed me yet

Alcohol and skin care products but so worth it on both accounts

Well my tastes are more spartan since my 3divources. They were expensive. Do you know why???? They are worth it!
