My bipolar meds, without insurance, are $800 a month. I have yet to slap a bitch at work so I would say they’re worth it so far.

Ah yes, I too hate inlfation.
But neither of you seem to have an issue with inhalation. ;)
imitation? initiation. intimidation? intimation
Definitely inhalation.
I once used $1k caviar as a topping for a Papa John’s pizza. It was delicious.
Chaotic. I love it.
Best answer here.
Are you Papa John? That sounds like something Papa John would do on a bender.
Maybe when he was still CEO 😂
This is what I came to read.
Frozen green beans from Costco. They were contaminated with listeria–there was a recall–and I was one of the lucky ones that got to have a stay in the hospital. The CT showed that the blood was just because the constant shitting had stripped the lining out of my colon. The hospital never got a culture, just gave me a bunch of antibiotics, so the law firm that was handling the recall told me to fuck off with my hospital bills.
1/10, would not repeat.
Lobster probably. Ocean cockroaches have the perfect texture to put flavored butter in your mouth. Particularly love lobster rolls with some nice herbs. Crazy how we like ocean roaches so much we’ve made them expensive.
When I lived in coastal New England in the early 2000s, a lobster roll was a hot dog bun with some random lobster chunks and a little bit of mayo, and you could get it at Stop & Shop for five bucks if the lobster catch was doing well.
I live in the Bay Area now and if you see an item called “lobster roll” here it’s probably $25 and it’s on brioche or something, and it’s not even good.
If you live in lobster town, eat lobster rolls. If you live in taco town, eat tacos.
I believe all my comparisons to coach roaches should have gave away how often I pay for lobster.
250 per plate meal at Hell’s Kitchen in Vegas.
The beef wellington is exactly as good as it looked on TV. The scallops were even better.
My scallops were a bit tough when I was there but it was a spectacular meal.
The figgy pudding was waaaaay too much. A very American sized serving. Could have done with with a few spoons of each pudding and icecream and been perfect. Instead i forced it all in and hated myself later.
As far as dollar amount, probably some meal with my girlfriend. We don’t do fancy but usually have one nice meal on a vacation.
But as a percentage of my income - something called Bonzai Chicken I ordered for $70 on my honeymoon back in the 90s. I made $7/hr at the time. I didn’t know it had curry in it or that I was allergic to curry. I spent the remainder of my honeymoon sick as a dog.
Kobe Beef in Kobe, Japan.
Best beef I ever had. Not worth it though. I didn’t realize how loaded my friend was when she suggested it to me, so I ended up reserving for 4 people before checking the prices.
I did spend 700$ eating sushi one time though. That time was worth it. For any sushi lovers planning a Japan trip - Stay out of the main cities and go for the coast. The best sushi is far from Tokyo/Kyoto/Osaka.
My friend was a local and took us to Izu.
No sushi will ever compare.

Noted 😊
The most expensive thing I’ve had that was really notable (as I’m sure I’ve ordered something pricier and thought nothing of it) was half an A5 wagyu steak from Wegmans. I think it was originally around $250/lb but it was on a manager’s special sale. I think it was around $80 for a ½lb, which is genuinely insane to me knowing that manager’s special means it’s the last chance to buy something before it goes bad.
Anyway, it was really good. A very odd experience though because afterwards I kinda stopped craving/ cooking/ ordering beef for a couple months. It was like I achieved some superlative thing and was just done with the concept of beef for a little bit. A strange reaction to such a positive experience, that said I do still eat beef occasionally.
I was taken to a very expensive steak restaurant once, and while others got more expensive cuts I got a 10 oz California sirloin aged 8 years in house.
I love steak, I loved steak, I will always love steak, but every steak from that day has to measure up to that one and never will.
I’m so glad I had the experience, but I don’t have $280 to blow on steak each time I want it lol.
8 years? Are you sure?
That’s more than quadruple the longest time I’ve ever seen a piece of beef dry aged.
Good catch. It’s been some time and I was way off. Just checked their menu and it’s 60 days. wayyyy off
Does printer ink count?
Go throw up
I paid for WinRAR once. If by “expensive” they mean ratio of price:value I consider that the most expensive thing I’ve bought.
I’ve been to several Michelin places, usually around $300 - $400 per person without wine. Definitely worth it for the quality, creativity, and experience.
I’ve already had A5 Kobe at around $60 an ounce, and caviar around $250 an ounce. Both worth it for an occasional splurge.
I also had a glass of a 1967 Bordeaux (don’t remember which one) that I didn’t pay for and it was good, but nothing better than some $50 bottles I’ve had before. Granted I’m not a wine expert or anything so maybe it’s quality was lost on me.
A 50-inch pizza, It cost me about 80 dollars, because the ingredients were first class. It was totally worth it.
Where did you buy it
in a resort in Punta Cana, in the Dominican Republic.
Was part of a team that was sent to Boston for a project. While we were there, the company announced they were changing the meal expense policy from reimbursement for submitted bills to a fixed stipend.
But that policy change was a couple of days away, so the whole team went to this fancy expensive restaurant for dinner, and we ordered expensive food and wines as one last hurrah.
I don’t even remember where or what I ate or drank.
I just remember it was a good time.
A ‘wagyu’ New York Strip for $120.
It was okay but really not worth it. I’ve made better steaks on my grill at home with $10 worth of Select Grade NY Strip.
