I spent too little money on a pair of jeans
I was in Springfield last week for my aunt's funeral; and, as I am currently an "independent contractor," my dad offered to buy me a couple of pairs of jeans and some shoes.

We went to Elder-Beerman's at the Upper Valley Mall, and I got some cheap-ass off-brand blues for $9.99. I also wanted some black jeans, and dad said to go ahead and get the $30 Levis (only black in my size they had).

Well, the $30 Levis rang up at $4.95. They were also 15% off. So I went back and got another pair. Whee!

3. Yeah, the trade off
is that they'll probably only last you 15 years or so.

12. that's the beauty part...
the oversaturation with wino pee makes them virtually indestructable.

Because if they do, you got ripped off.

16. I don't think I have even purchased a pair of jeans in the past ten
years. I only own one pair and they are about 4 sizes too large, but I love them anyway. :D

17. I spent too much money on a cheesecake from Whole Foods.
$15.98 for the small one topped with fresh fruit. Yum.

18. The terms "too much money" and "cheesecake"
can not coincide. Yum-ee!
