You will find so any more mayo sauces in Japan, wasabi mayo, curry mayo, mustard mayo, teriyaki mayo…

^ Thanks Bubba.
excluding the house, for me it was a 1st class plane ticket to Australia.
Bingo! I got a Bingo! Wife decided she wants new cans (all on her own) w/ the baby tuck. I got a Bingo!

Depends. How old is she?
starts w/ a 3
Perhaps we should narrow it down to a single purchase without financing.
So no house or boat or car unless you pay them off immediately.
Wow, congratulations.
I can’t remember everything…but…
Big Green Egg and eggcessories - about $1,500 (and worth every penny)
La-Z-Boy recliner - $1,200 (and worth every penny)
55-inch LCD TV - $1000 (in December 2009. much cheaper now)
I guess I could keep adding kitchen remodels and other furniture/electronics. But they’d probably all be in this range.
I almost bought a massage chair for around $3800~4000USD.
But instead i bought a coat
Perhaps most expensive purchase is my vintage channel handbag? that was definitely expensive but i still use it regularly now, so it’s okay.
i do not wear a lot of expensive accessaries so they can’t be more than a couple thousand US dollars.
SIngle purchases (not including vacations) without financing:
Mostly gifts for other people. Dropped $1500 on a stove for my parents when theirs died. Bunch of 1k-2k handbags for various women in my life (gf/sisters/mom). I remember two dinners with the gf that were north of $1000 for the two of us but both those were special occasions.
Other than a box of cuban cigars every 3-4 months for ~400 bucks, and a monthly bottle of Macallan, my only personal indulgence is Jets season tickets that run 4k a year.
The Post ran a story a yesterday about a guy who had Giants tickets. He had four of them. He left them on his dashboard while he went into a restaurant. By the time he got out, somebody had busted his dashboard and left two more.
What about weddings?
One co-worker said that a “standard” wedding package would cost at least $40k…That seems excessive.
^ My wife and I paid for our own wedding and it wasn’t anywhere close to $40k.
I was a tad suspicious of his numbers…But we come from different backgrounds so I just wasn’t sure.
I’m dealing with wedding stuff now. Seems ridiculously expensive…like, everything is just mad overpriced. Every photographer I talk to wants like $3k and the ones who are cheaper really have sh!tty pictures, ugh. I used to think that $40k was a really extravagant wedding, but looking over my budget with estimates it is pretty easy to see how it gets so expensive so quickly. I mean, food can easily be $15k, alone. I’m a cheap SoB, so this is killing me.
I’m going to Vegas over Thanksgiving, maybe we’ll just git 'er done there on the cheap.
I am not surprised…wedding receptions in Japan are VERY expensive. Not to mention photography, gifts, professional MC and entertainment, FLORAL, dress/suit/accessories… before you go on honey moon you would have spent a year of your salary.
I hear the Best Little Chapel has a high roller package. Hats, coffee mugs, etc.
Do they do annulments too?
