I feel ya, Amanda. I got a catalog yesterday with a really appealing item: a weighted blanket. I’d love a weighted blanket, because I like a certain comfy heaviness in my bedcovers. But it was $149.00. Srsly. Even with the attached 20%-off coupon, it would still be $120. The only thing I ever pay that much at one time for is pet care. WTH?!
A long long time ago my now ex-wife and I subscribed, if you could call it that, to several high end catalogs. The Needless – Markup (Neiman Marcus) catalog was just crazy. His and hers matching Cadillac pickup trucks (this was in the days before the Escalade, in the time of Rea*an) for only $25,000. Each. And other such over priced stuff. Kept us in stitches til Easter.
I used to get some of those high-end product catalogs but I never ordered from any of them and so, I don’t get the catalogs anymore. They make people think they have needs that they don’t because “you can’t afford not to” get whatever they’re selling. Gotta make sure these celebrity endorsers are appropriately reimbursed for the use of their names!

Because it’s like spoiled milk you read the expiration date and I know it’s bad but you just have to smell it

$2,000?
You sure you didn’t see a decimal point between the first two zeroes?

If you have a $2500 DAC you need the headphones.
