What are surprisingly some of the better purchases you have ever made?

I bought some Gummy bears the other day. They were pretty damn good.....

Oh and a $5 Milkshake. I don't know if it was worth $5 but it was one ****ing good milkshake.....

 

Tivo- One of the top inventions of this decade.

 

Magic-jack. Works great on out of country calls when folks don't have the means to use the Internet to talk (e.g. SKYPE).

 

From the other thread:

I did buy condoms.

 

The nadachair. www.nadachair.com

I have tried everything in the past 20 years to correct my posture while sitting at a desk. I can't tell you how many different CHAIRS I have bought in that time; arm-less, back-less, motion-less, extra lumbar support, and that doesn't even get into the number of different types of pillows I've used.

The one purchase I haven't made is the "ball" chair...heard good things about them.

BUT, and apologies for digressing, this Nada-Chair is frikin' fantastic. It's not really a chair, but straps. My lumbar is supported by two straps that wrap around the knees. It took a few days for my back to adjust to the "correct" postition, but after that, it's been pure heaven.

Hell, if you're sitting in a stadium with seats without backs, well, this is absolutely a must have. At their website you'll find that they make different version for different occasions, like driving even. They also have one for kids.

If any of you are experiencing lower back pain because of continuous sitting, please do yourself a favor and check out this device. Even the cost makes it easy to give this a try.

 

I've had lower back problems because of posture too. That thing looks silly though. What kind of reactions do you get at the office?

 

pair of timberland boots on sale for $37, always wanted a pair for winter but couldnt justify spending over $100 on a single pair of shoes.

nokia n800 internet tablet, saved my rear in classes a bunch of times when teacher asked questions and i havent done the reading..wikipedia ftw.

 

George Foreman grill...really.

 

I bought a mini-fridge back in 2001 for college and it still works today. Spent 150.

 

30 gb Zune for $99 during the Christmas sales last year. The software sometimes has me toying with trichotillomania, it's unbelievably frustrating to get media on the player sometimes.

Bright side is 99 bucks for 30gb that plays movies, podcasts, and is hackable to play all kinds of games is hard to beat. I never go anywhere without it.

 

Total Shaving Solution

Been using it for about 8 years. Always had razor burn pretty badly and started looking online for some type of oil instead of a cream or gel. Takes some getting used to, but haven't had razor burn since. And everyperson that has tried it on this board can thank me for introducing it years ago.

 

I just bought a 56 inch 1080p Samsung DLP HDTV for 600 bucks.

 

Great choice I got a 50 inch Samsung DLP for Christmas in 2005 and have never had any problems with it.

 

Amazon Kindle - I read a ton and I absolutely love it.

Old school razor and shaving brush - I get the best shave ever and I don't have to buy the expensive freaking blades. It took a little getting used to but once you do it is just as easy with a better shave. I never get razor burn and the bumps anymore. Here's a good site if you are more interested http://www.classicshaving.com/Home.html

 

where?

 

My question too.

 

I bought a pair of Gucci boots for 100 dollars off + 10%.

 

A 12 foot bong...which can only be used upstairs near the stairwell. Someone has to stay downstairs to light it.

 

The same place I get my ps3s
