On How I Ruined $60.98 in Tights So Far This Year
The best tights for the money in my opinion are Frenchi. They sell them in BP at Nordstrom and they're usually $10/pair but sometimes you can get two for $14. They're stretchier and thicker than most, which makes them easier to put on (especially if you have abnormally long legs) and they don't run easily. I have wrecked a lot of tights in my time. I don't know what I was thinking when I bought lace tights. Of course the lace caught on the first thing that touched them, MY FINGER.

@e I am not an expert, but it seems that the average consumer is going to have a hard time reselling any precious gems and you probably aren't going to make more than what you paid for it. Unless you get them wholesale and then sell them on eBay, but most people probably aren't doing that.

Ooh this is relevant. I got engaged last Fall. I asked my guy with a funny prop ring, and then we talked about getting me a ring a later. I thought for a long time about "Why do I want a ring? Do I need a ring? I don't need a ring!" but the longer I thought about it, the more I realized that I DID want a ring. And I don't want to feel bad about wanting that shiny piece of jewelry. So now we're having a local jeweler design an engagement ring with a lab created sapphire and a matching wedding band. Yes, it's still expensive and it still has tiny diamonds... but it makes me happy and we have the money. Weddings are one big nonstop judgment fest -- you spent too much money! How frivolous. Or, you didn't spend enough money! How sad.

I had a traumatic experience on Buffalo Bill's roller coaster several years ago. I thought we were all going to splat on the parking lot and die. I no longer like roller coasters.

@eternaloctopus Buy a box or two (or three or four...) from the coworker, then buy another box or two from a real live girl scout. They're usually outside grocery stores for a few weekends or going door to door. As a former girl scout, I was really thankful that my parents took their forms to work and hawked them there. I hated selling door to door.

@Amanda T Thanks to everyone who posted recipes - I bookmarked a bunch last weekend and made two for lunch and dinners this week!

Estimated $100 and spent $106, which would've been less but I bought a birthday present for a friend's birthday next month. Most of that was for dry cleaning some heavy coats. The rest of my month looks very austere (aside from the last weekend, which I'm spending in Vegas).

@Whiteflash93 Not everyone who wears tights wears them as pants-replacements. Some people wear them under skirts and dresses, for warmth and fashion.
