5 Things I Will Never Buy

Once in a while I come across ridiculous things that people buy and today it was cashmere toilet paper. After thinking how ridiculous the wealthy are sometimes, I began thinking of all the purchases I would never make, even if I somehow got out of debt and could afford it. Here is my list of things I will never buy, kind of my “when hell freezes over” top 5.

1. Cashmere Toilet Paper. It’s just silly, although according to the article it has a very nice scent. I would, however, at least buy Charmin or a brand of toilet paper that has pretty designs on it, instead of the packs of 40 rolls for 2 bucks. Now that I’ve grossed everyone out with toilet paper talk, I’ll move on.

2. Thousand Dollar Perfume. I do like fancy fragrances and have probably spent more money on them in the past that I should have. But, there are fragrances that literally cost thousands of dollars that I will never ever buy. Can people actually tell that you smell like a thousand bucks? Or do we just assume that someone like Angelina Jolie is wearing thousand dollar perfume and thus it has to smell fancy? I bet she could splash on some old Avon Night Magic and people would still assume it’s hundreds or thousands of dollars. Bottom line, I’m not ever doing it.

3. Exotic Animals. Sorry animal lovers, but you won’t ever see me with a pet Llama, monkey or boa constrictor. I’m not the biggest fan of even cats and dogs (I do like them) but I definitely don’t want to hang out with a bunch of wild and exotic animals. I still can’t figure out why people do this, except for the sole reason of just being able to. Isn’t this what zoos are for?

4. Edible Gold. I prefer my gold in the form of a necklace, I don’t even want to consider what would happen to my body if I indulged in one of the meals, desserts or drinks that claim to have gold pieces or flecks or whatever in them. There are many things that God put on this earth for us to nourish our bodies with, I just don’t think gold is one of them.

5. Wigs and Designer Clothes for Pets. Okay, so as stated in #4 I’m not quite an animal person, but if I ever were you can bet Fluffy isn’t wearing Prada. This is as close as you can get without just attaching a neon sign to a dog’s head that says “I’m rich and wasteful”. Yes, it’s cold. Sometimes puppies need little puppy slippers. Sometimes cats need sweaters, though I don’t really believe that. But never will a pet of mine sport a wig, which are available, or designer clothing. That goes for nail polish too.

I’m sure there are a slew of other things I would never purchase but these are my top 5. If you suddenly had cash coming out of your ears, what is one thing you would never purchase?
