    I'm the type of (cheap) person who only keeps two pairs of shoes at a time: One for everyday use, and another for weddings and funerals. So for me, my impulse purchase was a pair of cute shoes I walked past in a department store one time. My current shoes were working fine and the new ones were really expensive, but they were just too awesome to pass up. So, even though I was already worrying about how I was going to justify this as a necessary purchase, I bought them.
    Then, the very next morning, I woke up to find my old shoes half-eaten by my mom's dog, making the new pair of shoes the only pair of casual shoes I now had. Talk about timing!

      Well, this story definitely had a surprise ending :D

      I would consider it bitter sweet :D Bitter because your mom's dog ate your damn shoes, and sweet because you had a brand new pair that you really like instead of nothing at all!

        Yeah, I wasn't exactly thrilled to see my shoes in ruins, but it worked out in the end! Well, except for the part where I had to clean up the mess the dog made, haha.

    Weber Grill... This thing is 10 years old and keeps on delivering seriously good evenly cooked bbq. Had to grab it quick, ended up getting one of the best grills money can buy.

      I wish I lived in a country where there were more than 2 barbecue days per year

      As it stands we either get Dry and Cold, Cold and Sunny or Warm and Overcast with 2 days of summer

        I live in Vancouver... we have some of the worst weather there is :) However... with dedication and some rain cover, there is no stopping me :D

          I find it amusing that you are having a conversation with a cunt. I find it equally refreshing that I can say this in a public forum without recrimination. Carry on.

    One of those tape-to-auxiliary converters. Now I can play music in decent quality from my phone in my shitbox of a car.

    Gold panning kit, because of the gold and it keeps me out of the city and in the countryside and keeps me fit

      You cant stop at one sentence. I'm curious, do you pan enough gold for it to be worth while or is this just a for pleasure thing?

        It's just a pleasure thing, I like being in the countryside, camping, fishing and the like but I also like doing stuff. Living in an area of the country rich with gold veins helps but I'm new to it so it doesn't get me a lot of gold yet.
