Saving Pennies for XMTS Custom Hose: Who's with me?

[Rex_Tremende]

I'm sure I'm not the only one a bit hesitant to spend over $100 on...socks!

I had to think about that too when I ordered my MacCreary-matching hose, but I didn't think of it as $100+ on socks, but rather as something made especially for me. And I thought about all the other ways I could spend $100 and not think too hard about.

$100 is a trip to the grocery store (for milk and juice... how did all that other stuff get in the cart?)

...four or five dinners out with friends.

...1/3 of the cost of a good quality lamp, or two hardware store designer specials.

...three fill-ups at the gas station

...four bottles of gin

...twenty 5-draw Power Ball/MegaMillions plays

...one goose-down comforter

...four gallons of interior latex paint

...eight trips to the cinema (OK, well this one I think about waiting for the DVD)

Anyway, you get the idea.

Do be mindful of where you stash your pennies. As both a bank employee and one whose house has been broken into and robbed if all loose change, consider the value of your savings accounts to help you meet your goals.

Regards,
Rex.

Rex,

A really brilliant point.

Well until you wrote...

...four bottles of gin.

Now hold on there a moment!

I'm taking my change jar to the bank tomorrow to run it through the change counting machine! I'm going for the Argylls.

Drum roll please! The change came to $137.05!! That was easy!!! Right, it was very dark jar!

jayzus, man! that's more than the workings of a dark jar... you must have been playing some barry white in the room where those pennies were multiplying.

Fantastic!

I'm sorry I'm a few months behind you

So far there are just the two of us (though Hendry and Ron might be in)

The question is are we looking at diced hose or argyle?

Cheers
