What Insane/Crazy Price did You Pay Today?

I bought a slab of koa wood. It cost $1200. I can hardly wait to see the creative ways I'll screw it up when I work with it...

How and where did you get Koa wood? I thought that was on a restricted list and was not available for purchase except for the trinkets that tourists buy in Hawaii.

I just got an email from our natural gas supplier telling me a therm is going up from .68 cents to $1.11. They are buying now for next years use. So much for 9% increase. When your on a fixed pension it sure hurts. All this on top of Covin. i remember the 70's gas shortage. This is some experience today's kid can tell their kids. Plus another European war in the works. Earliest memory is when my dad came home from the VA hospital in 1946 after surviving WW2. Crazy times.

You left out Venison... that is probably $150/lb meat there.

Depends. We put about 50 pounds of it in the freezer last November, for free. Guy hit it with his car and didn't want the meat, so we took it.

So good thing there was no damage to the car...

Unfortunately, made in China. Look for. And buy made in the USA.

I’ll buy USA when I can but if the difference is $3 each vs $11 for the same material it’s not happening.

Here’s what I had to pay to fill up my truck today.

I bought my wife a Mothers Day card today. Nothing really special about the card, no music or popups, pretty standard card... but it was over $9. I didn't think paper and ink went up THAT MUCH!

$1.00 for the card. $8.00 fuel surcharge to deliver it to the store.

We agreed to stop getting each other cards years ago.
Some friends of ours would go to card shop, pick a card for each other, give them the card in the store, than put it back on the shelf.
