Four old retired men are walking down a street in Yuma, Arizona . They turn a corner and see a sign that says, "Old Timers Bar - ALL drinks 10 cents."They look at each other and then go in, thinking this is too good to be true.
 
The old bartender says in a voice that carries across the room, "Come on in and let me pour one for you! What'll it be, gentlemen?"
 
There's a fully stocked bar, so each of the men orders a martini. In no time the bartender serves up four iced martinis shaken, not stirred and says, "That'll be 10 cents each, please."
 
The four guys stare at the bartender for a moment, then at each other. They can't believe their good luck. They pay the 40 cents, finish their martinis, and order another round.
 
Again, four excellent martinis are produced, with the bartender again saying,"That's 40 cents, please."
 
They pay the 40 cents, but their curiosity gets the better of them. They've each had two martinis and haven't even spent a dollar yet.
 
Finally one of them says, "How can you afford to serve martinis as good as these for a dime apiece?"
 
"I'm a retired tailor from Phoenix ," the bartender says, "and I always wanted to own a bar. Last year I hit the Lottery Jackpot for $125 million and decided to open this place. Every drink costs a dime. Wine, liquor, beer it's all the same."
 
"Wow! That's some story!" one of the men says.
 
As the four of them sip at their martinis, they can't help noticing seven other people at the end of the bar who don't have any drinks in front of them and haven't ordered anything the whole time they've been there. Nodding at the seven at the end of the bar, one of the men asks the Bartender, "What's with them?"
 
The bartender says, "They're retired people from Florida . They're waiting for Happy Hour when drinks are half-price."   Grin

my wife always nags at me for spending money on GOOD deals, or so I think they are.  I eventually use them even if not right away.  If I see something good priced I want to buy it and if do not need it and want to get rid of it say 4-10 years later, I can still sell it on craigslist and get almost what I paid for it way back when.

If she did not control my frugal spending habits, I would have bought several other items as well, mostly off craigslist.  But, she has no problems spending 1000's per year on clothes and shoes new?   coolsmiley  having 20+ pairs of shoes and enough clothes for 5 people to wear. 

Man, I do not remember the last decade I bought underwear even???   2funny

I actually have been starting to ditch a few pair tossed one out for an oil change rag yesterday.  It had the entire bottom ripped out and entire right side below the elastic ripped out as well.  I keep the pair until either that or the elastic is totally gone.  Hanes must make good elastic am sure most of my pairs are over 10 years old.

You know, you can buy brand new microfiber towels at the dollar store ? It's ok to just throw away those old underwear .  Shocked
