Cheap undies and pantyhose. Anything from Wal-Mart. Crappy produce. Coach plance tickets. Cheap shampoo. Used books (half the time, the paperbacks smell funny). Cheap cuts of beef. That’s about it. ---

> [@DMark](#): > > Psst…buy one of [these](http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/product.asp?order_num=-1&SKU=104305&RN=153&BTSmode=true). They are great! Hehe, I had one of those in another apartment, but the fridge in this one is kind of gross, so water left in there starts to taste like fridge. Then the whole Brita starts to taste like fridge. And we are too lazy to change it. It’s sitting in the fridge now with months-old water in it. ☹ Thanks for the suggestion! It just doesn’t fly, though, for the truly lazy - like me. ---

> [@Shirley Ujest](#): > > I would stop buying Ozone depleting vehicles of Unusual Size and invest in the hybrid vehicles. Oh, and I would buy myself a mini. ( ok, so, I’m conflicted. sue me.) Hybrids, bleurgh. Do as I would and buy a big European diesel, Beemer or Audi. Economical, environmentally friendly _and_ fast. Further to my earlier request for no bus tickets, I would also eat only in proper, proper Chinese establishments, with wooden chopsticks, and, um, whatever it is that decent Chinese establishments provide. Hell, any place that I don’t ring at 2am when I’m back from a night out would do 😛 And speaking of nights out I would purchase only beer that didn’t come in ten packs or even six packs. Something with “ye” “olde” and the name of some animal in the title, something nice and English like that 😉 ---

Funny thread idea! Reminds me of all those episodes of MTV’s Cribz, in which the multimillionaire sports figure or celebrity of some other kind opens up the solid gold refrigerator with imported crystal handles to reveal that his freezer is stocked wall-to-wall with _hot pockets_. As soon as I got enough money to pay for it easily, I’d hire a chef-nutritionist to do all my shopping, meal planning, and cooking for me, and I’d never go to a grocery store again. I’d still shop at WalMart, but I might stop shopping at Big Lots. Maybe. ---

I’d stop buying $0.98 frozen pizzas. It’ll be nothing but Red Baron Four Cheese pizza when _my_ ship comes in. And no more generic cereal, either. And I’ll stop buying makeup and bath stuff from Avon and laundry and cleaning stuff from Wal-Mart and join back up with Melaleuca. I miss Melaleuca. ---

> [@Mangetout](#): > > Nothing. There are plenty of things I’d probably _start_ buying, but there’s nothing I particularly despise, that I buy right now. Same here. I was thinking a few days ago of starting a similar thread something like “odd things you might do if you suddenly became super wealthy”. But I can’t think of anything that is SO bad that I would no longer buy it if I suddenly had more money. ---
