Feel free to post information and pictures on any non-car related purchase. A good rule of thumb is to ask yourself, "What would Dave Ramsey do?" If he wouldn't be proud, post it here.


I went to Best Buy to purchase Legend of Bagger Vance. They didn't have it in stock so I walked out with these two:

Apparently I was in a Zombie mode.

I'm not a lawn person by any means, but weed eaters really make a big difference in curb appeal.

I'd love to buy a weed eater but then I'd have 3 motors that eat oil :)

I have a 98' that doesn't burn oil. We can trade for either one of yours. :P

That is by far the cheapest I've seen it go for. I wouldn't doubt if there is a massive surplus of that now that the mass hysteria around the election is dying down.

I know both of the 1000rnd PMC boxes I got were $379

I went into my mates dealership to buy an A/C button and ended up buying 98+ JDM control arms. That wasn't planned.

Bet those 4-stroke strimmers do sound weird. Are they a bit sluggish to rev over the 2-strokes?

<--- Used his weed eater on Friday, and Honda mower the same day.

Derailed? Hrm, terra cotta pot for the Hibiscus plant, new sprayer head for the sink attachment and a plunger while at Lowes.

Went to walmart to get Beef flavored Ramon noodles.... Came out with Roasted chicken flavor & Rice crispy treat cereal.


Not as exciting as a weed eater i know, but hey what do you expect from a college student.\


Edit: FYI Maruchan Ramon company is exploiting this economy, they are up to 17 cents a pack!!
