"I love you a bag of Swedish Fish"

As some of you may or may not know, I love movies (As evidenced by many of my blog titles being movie quotes). I also happen to have a roommate that shares in this love of movies and we frequently go on outings to purchase movies to add to our vast collection. One of the things we pride ourselves on is rarely buying movies at full price. I'm talking there are maybe three times in a year that we purchase any movie at full price and those usually have some sort of extenuating circumstance attached to them. So, while we were browsing the movies at a store earlier this evening, we arrived at the whole, "I like this movie, but I don't like it __ dollars worth." This frequently comes up when we have discussions about whether or not to buy movies. Granted, we usually end up buying more than we planned and we faithfully browse online ads to see who has the best deal on new releases but only if we like it __ dollars worth. Example: We were checking out and my roommate had picked up a 5 dollar movie but when it was rung up, it showed that it was 9 dollars. My roommate asked them to check the price. As the lady got on the phone to check with the department, I asked my roommate "Don't you still want it if it's 9 bucks?" and she replied "No, I like it, but I don't like it 9 bucks worth." We ended up getting it for 5 bucks but it made me wonder, do you ever have conversations with yourself or your shopping companions that involve "I like it, but I don't like it __ dollars worth?" Share.

  1. Seriously.. This sounds like me when I shop. I like it but not $25 dollar like it. If you want a good deal on movie go to F.Y.E. Granted they are used but everything I've bought from there has been in awesome condition.

  2. Shoes. I saw a pair the other day that were $30. They were so cute, but not worth $30.
