Best $4 ever spent
Today I was in a local game shop and saw mirror's edge for $4
Now I heard some good things (and some not good things) about mirror's edge so I bought it. And that got me thinking,
What is the best $4 ever spent?
So I put it to you
What is the best $4 you have ever spent (no more than $4)

I got a nice pair of Italian leather shoes for work in a closing down sale for a tenner once... i'll get back to you
well i am from Australia
so this should be called the best $3.6772 you have spent
i also got viewtiful joe and viewtiful joe 2 for $4 each (aus)
Fry's had it.
It was hilarity.
I got a copy of Elite Beat agents for 5 euros in my video game store but that's the closest.
Maybe, someday, they'll find some time to upgrade Season 1 to widescreen, and now I'd be able to downlad it!
Pretty please?
And yes, I already did own the game at that time.
What is that supposed to mean? (I'm serious, I'm not sure what you mean).
That's Rich Uncle Moneybags, AKA the Monopoly man from the board game of same name. He's a universal symbol of wealth and affluence. He also dresses a bit like a ringmaster
Jinx!!! ...kinda
So the assumption is that I spend a lot of money on things? That's not true.
It's not that I don't spend money on little things because I'd rather spend more, it's that I don't spend money on little things because I'd rather not spend at all. I feel they add up and you tend not to account for them, so in that way they can hurt more than bigger ($20, $30) purchases that you have to save up for and as a result know you spent.
As a result, the only time I'd buy something that's under 4 dollars would be if I had already planned to buy it and started saving up and it happened to get on sale in the meantime.
I mean, I'm not going to buy something just because it's on sale if I didn't want to get it to begin with. And I can't plan if something is going to be on sale or not, obviously. So in the end it doesn't happen often that something is on sale right when I wanted to get it.
And things that cost $4 or less when not on sale are rarely things I want to begin with, so I'm not going to buy them just because they're cheap, that would be stupid.
i concur, definately the best 5 buck i've ever spent.
i have no clue how i missed that game as a child but it is AMAZING, and the finger swipe system is genius, it lets you actually navigate the impossibly tiny screen and click on a item 1/4 the size of my finger... absolutely genius (pay attention telltale!)

You're a very serious person aren't you? It was only the Monopoly Man
On Amazon, I bought Simon the Sorcerer 4 for £2.50 and Spore Creature Creator for 85p. Of course, once you add the price of shipping it costs quite a bit more! But I remember being pleased with my purchases nevertheless. (the price I paid for STS4 is close to $4 probably)
And of course there was that time on Steam last year when SMI:SE was on sale for £1.75 for the day. That was nice! And since it was a digital download, no shipping!
I also specifically remember that the day I bought SMI:SE I had also bought a bus ticket that cost almost twice that much!
That must have been one of the cheapest things I've found. If I don't count that one Ps1 Mega Man I found from a flea market. (scratchy and didn't even have the cover paper on it, but at least it works! around 2 euros I guess.)
Nah, I just like ranting.

I loved that show.
Well... according to Don Rosa, he keeps his money as a memento of his adventures and that why he never spend more than the necessary to still have more adventures. If somebody wants to know.
He was called Scrooge though. Also, I lol'ed hard at that photo
1) Plastic cuts are bad too, I'll take the paper at that speed.
2) The point of swimming in money is that it's money! It's worth a lot! You don't get that with debit (or even worse, credit) cards. They're not representative of how rich or poor you are, they might only be representative of how much in debt you are.
No, you need actual money, not a tool that can allow you to spend money (such as a card or a chequebook). Otherwise it's not the same.
Avoid gems, too, by the way. And you might think swimming in oil would be a good idea since it's a liquid, but please reconsider.
Ahem, if I may...
In most countries paper money is actually nothing more than a glorified IOU. If you take it to the bank then they exchange it for coins which have monetary value usually because of the metals used in making them*
*I tried reading up on why coins are considered real money but I suffered a massive head 'splosion trying to take it all in, so consider this my botched understanding, but I think it's something like that... isn't this interesting?
I know, but I need to say it. But, anyway, he developed that part of his personality when he become popular.
What I meant is that they have an assigned value to them. Cards don't. You can have lots of credit cards that are all tied to debts, or debit cards tied to accounts with no money in them, etc. Or you could have just one and be super-rich because there is a lot on the account.
Bills tell you how much money they're worth just by looking at them, but cards aren't representative of anything like that.
That's what I meant.
