    Maybe I'm getting old, but each year the fireworks get weaker and weaker, while the prices get higher and higher.

    This year, I spend $29 and I really didn't get much bang for the buck (pardon the pun).

    I didn't get to buy fireworks this year, but I will have to agree with you, they just aren't as fun as they use to be. As a kid I would go crazy buying these things, even as a young adolescent I loved them. I am now 20 and I haven't found them entertaining for the last two years, :\.

    I spent about 30 bucks. About 8 was spent on stuff that I wouldn't rebuy.

    However, the group I was with must have shot off 5-600 bucks worth of stuff. The most interesting was the 100 dollar roll of 16,000 blackcats. You haven't lived until you've seen a pile of over 10 thousand black cats go off at once. :D

    I've gotten past the firework stage. All my allotted 4th of July money went toward liquor this year haha.

    $400 is about what I spent for a fireworks show at our lake house.

    But it was so dog gone windy that I only shot about half of them off on the 4th, and the other half last night.

    Still fun though.....but I had too many morters......and thought that the coolest thing was the all in one boxes, next year a couple less morters and more of the all in one boxes.

    My father once told me that spending money on fireworks is like burning money...
