Dollar for Dollar, What is Some of the Best Money You've Ever Spent on Something?

[CoTtOnMoUf]

off the bat, i would have to say the $350.00 i spent for my dog.

he is the smartest and most loyal dog i've ever had and he Never has given me trouble!

also, back in the nineties, i bought a ford festiva, 5 speed for $500.00 that looked like new and ran flawlessly for about 5 years! the car wasn't a chick magnet and yall can laugh all you want, but transportation wise was some of the best money i've ever spent!

i got more later.

what yall got?

I bought a used Saab. My first major purchase ever and so far it has worked out.

 

[JofromthaNO]

My education

It's always provided me an opportunity, and, so far, has never left me without a job, a roof over my head, and bills paid...

allen edmonds dress shoes. when they get messed up, send them back to allen edmonds and they'll recondition and resole them for a very reasonable price. comfortable stylish shoes make the difference.

custom shirts and suits. you feel different when you have on some custom clothing. you walk a little taller. you feel better about yourself and people notice. you want to catch a fly chick? get that job you always wanted? start with a custom suit and shirt and let the chips fall...

$10 for BGOL = saving hundreds of dollars on music, movies, porn, software, etc...etc.........

dollar for dollar, i would also have to say internet access.

the internet has provided me with thousands in savings on purchases, convenience (online banking is the shit! ), info and so much more!

My house. Bought when the market was imploding and got it for $120k less than the original asking price. Now with my recent refi, the monthly mortgage is cheaper than rent on a nice 2 bedroom.

And I can easily sell it for a profit right now if I had to.

Beat me to it. Haven't had to burn a flick in almost two years. Never having to burn a DVD again = Best $99 I ever spent.

BGOL membership - Truth be told I can get my stuff from other places for free. I've been to a few boards like this before and they were all covered in spam, ads, pop-ups, stingy ass niggas, passwords on rar files and trojans/malware/hidden viruses. At least on BGOL I can get stuff from here without worrying about my computer getting fucked up. That alone is worth the 10 dollars. Plus the knowledge and laughs I got from here.

The Hitachi 500GB Hard Drive I got on Black Friday for 40 bucks

 

[Black A. Camus]

I use this 4 out of 5 times I cook.

 

[curryshotta]

Best value for dollar was undergrad. Still debating grad.

 

[Cock Head Jones]

My education

allen edmonds dress shoes.

and my crockett & jones loafers

and my pillowtop mattress. original price was retail over $1000. they had it for 799. negotiated with manager and got the last 2 of them for 500 cash total when store was closing the location. sold 1 on craigslist next day for 400. so i ended up with the best kingsize mattress ever for $100

I agree. It's got to be one of the best deals around, even moreso when packaged as part of your entertainment bundle. Especially for all of us BGOL cats and the amount of multi-tasking we usually do when we're on with multiple tabs/windows/operations all running at once.

Careful man! Hope you're not setting yourself up for an ock!

A cannonball with a handle = gym

Lasik eye surgery

The simple joy of seeing the alarm clock or going to the bathroom without first having to find your glasses in the middle of the nigh is simply priceless.

What is this? I have the external hard drive but whats the remote for?

I would have to say my stationary bike it has kept me in great shape for years all through grad school when i picked up a bunch of weight.

I would say my multiple degrees are slowly paying off, when i get a house then i'll feel better.

what age did some of you cats who have houses get your first house?

Best $10 EVER /thread.

LordSinister helped me install my DVD burner at 5AM (of course he is PST, so it was 1AM), telling me step for step including how to take the back off of my Dell

Tons of music I haven't heard in years including CDs that were stolen from me I got back because of this site.

dadirtydj found Babyface's rare Whip Appeal remix (The Ultimate Whip) that I searched for and could not find. I heard it one time on the radio back in 1990 or so and he found it in a day.

Tons of computer errors have been fixed saving me $300 a pop at Geeksquad.

Tons of porn.

Info before it hit the streets. Michael Jackson dying wasn't even on CNN or Yahoo yet before it was posted on here.

Shit, today when my DirecTv went out because of the weather El Pirate Del Caribe put me on to watching games and live TV from my laptop

$10, Nuff Said /Thread.

I have the same charger with the double outlet car charger adapter so i can charge my gps itouch and both my cell phones when i'm riding.

I just got one of these hoping it stacks up to the macbook.
