Author Topic: The "What did you buy today (or recently)?" Thread Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 08-24-2009 10:04 PM                        Post about your latest acquisitions. It's a material world, so the more stuff you have, the better human being you are. This is for everything you buy, cheap to expensive. I'll start: Two brand new 6-foot HDMI cables for 1 cent each from Amazon To Hell with Monster and their $100 4-foot cables!  |  IP: Logged Jeremy Jorgenson Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1002 From: Chicago, IL, USA Registered: Feb 2005 posted 08-24-2009 10:29 PM                        Korean for Non-Native Speakers book and workbook (wrapped together, so it was a single purchase). It's for my class which starts tomorrow. I can't add a picture because I'm at work, but if you want I can upload one when I get home. I have to go back to school to defer my student loans ... so, I decided to take Korean.  |  IP: Logged Jake Spell Master Film Handler Posts: 294 From: Johns Island SC Registered: May 2009 posted 08-24-2009 10:45 PM                     Brain Droppings by George Carlin  |  IP: Logged Scott Norwood Film God Posts: 8146 From: Boston, MA. USA (1774.21 miles northeast of Dallas) Registered: Jun 99 posted 08-24-2009 10:53 PM                        Today: - one tank of gas (I didn't actually purchase the tank--just the gas) (87 octane unleaded) - two books of stamps ($.44 first class) - picked up five shirts from the laundry (light starch, on hangers) Over the weekend: - one haircut (trim) - paid phone bill (Verizon) - paid parking ticket (expired meter) My life is boring like that.  |  IP: Logged Bobby Henderson "Ask me about Trajan." Posts: 10973 From: Lawton, OK, USA Registered: Apr 2001 posted 08-25-2009 12:13 AM                     I guess a six pack of imported Mexican beer wouldn't really qualify as a material thing. Bohemia is still pretty good stuff. Some of my recent "material" purchases: a Mini HDMI to HDMI adapter: $9 at Radio Shack Casino on Blu-ray: $12.99 at Best Buy B+W 77mm MRC Circular Polarizer filter: $156 at B&H Photo Canon EOS 5D Mark II D-SLR body: $2699 at B&H Photo Canon Speedlight 530EX II: $370 at Amazon ($50 rebate) AND The Perfect Push Up (Basic Edition): $20 at Wal-Mart. I'm kind of curious to see any recent MP3 player purchases in this thread. My level of hatred is growing for the 2GB RCA Lyra player my parents gave me as a birthday present a couple of years ago. It's just been buggy as hell lately. I want a good player that is NOT an Apple product. Can't stand that iTunes crap and all its restrictions. Not looking to hijack this thread with MP3 player arguments; just want to see what others have purchased recently.  |  IP: Logged Kurt Zupin Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 989 From: Maricopa, Arizona Registered: Oct 2004 posted 08-25-2009 01:36 AM                     Didn't buy it today, actually last Sunday night, but I bought a new Vizio 1080p 47" tv.  |  IP: Logged Eric Robinson Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 538 From: Santa Rosa, CA Registered: Jan 2005 posted 08-25-2009 02:33 AM                     Mulholland Drive, by David Lynch DVD for $2.00 at a garage sell.  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!!

I bought a Ruger Hawkeye Sporter in .308. So I was a sucker for the free Carhartt jacket promotion. It wasn't very expensive.  |  IP: Logged Andy Bajew Expert Film Handler Posts: 136 From: Bellaire, Texas Registered: Jun 2009 posted 08-25-2009 09:46 AM                     Managerial Accounting 2332 textbook - $110.35 Two Egg McMuffins from McDonalds - $6.62 Piece of gum and bottle of water - $0.00  |  IP: Logged Luke Anderson Film Handler Posts: 25 From: Spokane, Wa Unites States Registered: Jun 2009 posted 08-25-2009 10:29 AM                    A 40oz bottle of Miller High Life.

Posts: 1431 From: Waukee, IA Registered: Dec 2004 posted 08-25-2009 11:04 AM                        The last material non-food stuff I purchased (Friday) was "The Reader" on Blu-Ray at Target. Total impulse buy. It exceeded my expectations. I also picked up the last Harry Potter book and am breaking my "books/movies" rule because, after watching the current movie four times, I couldn't wait for the last two damn movies. I've almost finished said book and am now considering picking up book 6. Which probably means I'll read the whole series backwards.  |  IP: Logged Tim Reed Better Projection Pays Posts: 5246 From: Northampton, PA Registered: Sep 1999 posted 08-25-2009 11:07 AM                       Thinking about buying this. It's cheaper than marrying them.  |  IP: Logged David Stambaugh Film God Posts: 4021 From: Eugene, Oregon Registered: Jan 2002 posted 08-25-2009 11:13 AM                        Two 4GB USB flash drives @ $12/ea. Two gallons of concrete sealer @ $20/ea. Grande Starbucks iced coffee, unsweetened, extra ice, $2.20 less 10% SB Gold Card discount. Pondering getting Wireless-N for home because I need to move my PC from the spare bedroom to a different location but there's no wiring in the new spot for the Comcast cable connection, and no wired LAN connection, and I really don't want to string both coax and Cat-6 and punch more holes in the floor.  |  IP: Logged Mike Heenan Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1896 From: Scottsdale, AZ, USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 08-25-2009 11:51 AM                     Tim, that stereo looks great!  |  IP: Logged
