Get your moneys worth!!!

How many times must you listen to a £13 cd, or watch a £15 dvd to get your moneys worth?

Some may say once is sufficient, but (especially in the case of movies) I like to pass it round my family and friends and once a few people have shared it with me I am happy that it has been utilised enough to warrant paying the money on it.

How much do you have to eat at an All You Can Eat for £10 buffet before you feel you've really had a bargain?

How many times must you read a book? How many plays of a computer game?

If I don't complete a video game ever I feel that I've wasted my money.

it's not how many times you listen to that cd it's whether that cd being in your record collection will get you sex.

All of my games remain uncompleted, but I feel I've had my moneys worth, especially from the Sims - I've had it so bloody long.

And unless my books are re-read, lent to family or friends or packed off to the charity shop I feel kind of unsatisfied.

Yes, I forgot to add 'games not completed and not replayed'. Does the Sims actually finish?

CD= 3 listens.

DVD= depends on how much you liked it. if you thought it was great, then 1 watch for full value joyousness.

All you can eat= for me it’s when my stomach hurts.

Computer game= once you've cleared it.

Book= again, depends on if you enjoyed it.

It's not about how much money you spend but about what value you get from whatever item. If you've only read or watched something once but you retain clear lucid memories and it has had an impact, than it was worth it. If not, then you just got screwed over & should feel guilty about not spending the money on saving starving orphans or rescuing lost cats.

My local Woolworths no longer employs the Weigh and Pay method of Pick n Mix. Instead there are three different size cups, you fill your choice of cup and pay.

Well this is clearly unfair, a small cup for example costs £1.30, but if you like giant marshmallows then you'll only be able to fit one or two in (and maybe a jelly snake coiled round the top)

I overcome this problem by cramming the mallows in at the bottom, flattening all the gums and jellies on top, filling the gaps with jelly beans and throwing in a handful of liquorice comfits to fill the rest of the space. This is the ONLY way to get ones moneys worth.

My Sim has got a shit job and keeps getting fired. There just aren't enough hours in the day. Sigh.

DVD's worth = WANK POTENTIAL.

Therefore my Libertines DVD was actually worth a lot more than, say, Babylon 5, even though that was a whole season and the Libs pr0n was only 3 poxy videos.

£1.30 for sweets!?! i remember feeling sick after a 20p mix-up.

Well, considering how little you paid, it was probably crap. ;-)

― nathalie, a bum like you (stevie nixed), Tuesday, 18 October 2005 10:07 (twenty years ago)

Woolworths never has the sweets I like any more. I'm all about that weird Scandinavian Candy King stuff at Sainsburys these days.

― Paranoid Spice (kate), Tuesday, 18 October 2005 10:09 (twenty years ago)

Yeah, and that's the small cup. Mind you back when they weighed out what you had in your little bag, four sweets could cost a quid. Depends how heavy they are.

― Rumpie, Tuesday, 18 October 2005 10:12 (twenty years ago)

I like those proper little milk bars that serve you your sweets in little paper bags and are very good value for money. With old-fashioned sweets like humbugs and milk bottles and licorice straps. And sherbert bombs are the best.

Erm mojo's, cola bottles, fried eggs, refreshers, strawberry laces, black jacks, drumstick lollies crap?

i really don't think so!
