Re: Cheap things you buy even though you can afford expensive ones.

I saw an ad at a store that said something like: "You don't buy the cheapest watch or the cheapest car. Why use a cheap pen." It was a display for some $100 pen. I think the answer for lots of us would be pens. No one I work with ever uses $100 pens. Then again, we get free pens at work, and people constantly lose them. So why not use the cheap (or free) pens? [/ QUOTE ] LOL, I have several pens that cost well over $100. Are they worth it? I draw for a living so they are worth it to me. There is just something about the weight, the nib, and the ink flow of a fine pen that make drawing more enjoyable. A few, like my original duofold I could probably sell for a small profit but probably never will. For me it has to be underwear. My Old Navy boxers work jsut fine. Even better if they are on sale.

I am a cigar snob. But beer, naw... I've never refused any beer that's been handed to me because of its brand or price.

[/ QUOTE ] The good manufacturers spend considerable money designing the right filter profile for their sunglasses. They all block UV light but they also block different amounts of the different wavelengths of visible and infrared light to make your eyes the most comfortable and see the clearest. Now is the cost worth it? I think so, but both of my eyes have had phsyical trauma in the past, so I'd rather be safe than sorry. BTW, I always go with a company that their primary business is sunglasses like Ray Ban, Revo, and Oakley. None of that Chanel/Prada crap for me.

Since I live in Budweiserland all I see at the parties is Bud Light and Bud Select. I would rather not drink than have those. They usually buy me a case of Budweiser since that's somewhat drinkable. I usually resort to the box wine when the beer selection sucks, and for a wine snob like me that's saying a lot. And that's the reason I drink Dewars mostly while in Vegas, although some properties carry things like Sierra Nevada now, which is nice.

Re: Cheap things you buy even though you can afford expensive ones.
as far as beers go, there is a place for most beers depending on the situation, I tend to pick my beers on what Im doing while drinking, or eating, sometimes there is nothing better than a budlight while floating down the river on an innertube, or a bud with some [censored] pizzahut during a football game, and generally I dont like bud products, but the taste/mind connection from when I first started drinking is just too hard to overcome.
