10 Best deals in life

Best BANG for the buck, the things in life which cost little or nothing and
bring a disproportionately high amount of value or pleasure.

In no specific order

1) Tuna fish - tastes great, about 30
grams of protein, cost: a diminutive
35 cents a can (on sale).
2) Music / art -
3) Lustful Sex - with yourself or other(s)
4) Freedom - I was in the USMC for 3
years, no one can tell me to “pack your
shit, you’re going on an operation”
anymore. With the possible exception of
my wife.
5) Beer - Labatt's Blue or Bass Pale Ale
6) Unix operating system(s) - a developer's
paridise
7) My Car - this violates low cost
assumption, BUT the pleasure factor is
huge and it mixes well with #4, #2, #3
and ocasionally #5
8) Friends - I would have gone insane long
ago (married with 2 kids) without a
few buddies to hangout with.
9) My Job - Yes, I like my job and it gets
me out of the house (married with 2 kids)
10) Hydrocodone - see "Tooth from Hell" post

Well I thought 12 rolls of extra soft toiletpaper for $2.49 was a pretty good deal.

It's probably the "single" role configuration. You have to change the little cardboard inserts twice as much as the double rolls. Thus doubling the hassle factor. Nope, dosen't make the list.

Now listen dammit. I know good toiletpaper when I see it. As I can't find a webpage with productinfo, I'll quote from the packaging:

"Kleenex® Premium offers you a unique comfortable adsorbancy and downy softness. This is thanks to Kleenex® Premium's thicker and softer quilted sheets"

Each roll is 21,5 meters in length, having 171 individual pieces of paper, and a net weight of 86 grams.

Marcel, you obviously don't treat your butt very well. You're probably one of those people that use that sandpaper-ish kind of toiletpaper...

Not true, Since the 'roid operation I treet myself to the very best (Charmin (double roll)). No way can you get 2 good double rolls for 2.what ever the hell it was. If this IS true, it may meed to be considered for the list.

I would add most fruit, eggs, paperback novels (though their price has been going up faster than inflation), anodized aluminum cookware, the Internet, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, electronic calculators, mechanical pencils, and the humble potato. Personal computers almost make the cut. They keep getting cheaper. Soon, almost anyone who wants one (in the U. S.) will be able to have one.

Also, let's not forget Winamp, MP3s in general, Interlibrary Loan, downloadable pictures of Alyson Hannigan (*sigh*), ten-cent ballpoint pens, fifty-cent CD-Rs, good girl-watching spots, and ramen noodles. There's Google, the Encyclopedia Britannica online, and the Library of Congress's website. Things keep getting better.

Let us not forget the old Kids in the Hall shows, the Lone Gunman, Witchblade and the fact that I can girl punch a guy and get away with it.

I am surprised that no male has yet mentioned girls on trampolines.

That's probably because the topic was "10 best deals", not ten best things.

Come to think of it, anybody know where I can get a good deal on a passel of girls on trampolines?

I believe the correct term is a "sleuth of girls on trampolines."

I believe you meant to say a slew of girls, not a sleuth.

No, I did not. "Sleuth" is the term used to describe a group of bears.

How's this. For about 7 bucks last night, I drank a 46oz (you heard me) cup of Summit Hefe-Wiezen by the lakeside, played cards with friends and then watched a kick ass computer controlled fireworks display set to music over the water. Hot guys without shirts and lots of chicks in skimpy tops were strolling about, providing cheap thrills for those that desire them. The breeze was refreshing, it wasn't that hot and even the dumb bitch at the next table blowing cigarette smoke back into my face couldn't deter my happy tipsy blissful smile.

I've also gotta add living with pets to the list of the best deals. Upkeep usually isn't that much and you reap large amounts of unconditional love and snuggles when you need them most.

The correct term for grouping girls on trampolines is a babble.

This term was coined by weishaupt in college to describe groups of sorority girls.

no you must not forget old stuff at garage sales
for 10 bucks i bought a 1943 typewriter, a 1951 8mm camera and projector and screen, a 1942 sony reel to reel audio recorder, a copy of dante's the inferno, and a copy of the biological time bomb.

thats is a wicked deal especially since i found that all the old gadgets still work perfectly except the typewriter i needed to oil the pins on it, its works fine now. and all are worth alot of money but i dunno if i wanna sell em
i might on ebay some time

I'd say a girl giving me head is the best deal... cuz it's always been free for me.

what better deal could there be.
