I always buy popcorn at the theater. Yes, it's expensive ... but so is going to the theater, period. It's part of the whole experience. If you're going to blow $25 to see a movie, might as well blow another $15 on popcorn and a soda. But, we do it like once a year.
I will sometimes buy bottled water, if I'm in town and really thirsty. But at home, the tap is fine for me. Hasn't killed us yet.
College textbooks ... true. But again, you're paying tens of thousands of dollars for that education, what's a few hundred more for books? And a college education more than pays for itself.
Printer ink ... I buy the refill kits. Cheap, but messy.
Designer clothes - never. Unless I find them at a thrift store or yard sale. Silly.
"We give dogs the time we can spare, the space we can spare and the love we can spare. And in return, dogs give us their all. It's the best deal man has ever made" - M. Facklam
"We are raised to honor all the wrong explorers and discoverers - thieves planting flags, murderers carrying crosses. Let us at last praise the colonizers of dreams."- P.S. Beagle
"All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king." - J.R.R. Tolkien
