When was the last time you felt like you got your money's worth for an item? (hexbear.net)

I'm looking over a new pair of shoes I recently bought. My feet hurt after walking a few miles in them, so I inspected the insole area, and it was the cheapest 5mm foam imaginable with no other structural support. Below that is basically just the rubber sole. This shit cost $100.

This isn't my first rodeo with overpriced, shitty shoes, so I always have a set of superfeet inserts on standby. Huge improvement, but fuck, why does everything have to be a rip off? Those inserts are $50 for some nicer foam and a simple sliver of molded plastic.

This brings me to the thread title: When was the last time you felt like you got your money's worth for an item?

People have said weed already in this thread and I hadn't considered that, but it's true

I bought 300 bucks of legal weed at a shop and it is over a year later and I am not even 2/3rds of the way through it, it's so strong I only need a little bit for a whole evening
