I'll Pay a Little More For....

By -
 Somethings .........like
real maple syrup 


Like beautiful sock yarn 
that has some bounce to it 


Like a good work bag, although mine is a gift from AL


Like hand lotion that soothes these nurse hands

I'll pay a little more for 

a great haircut 

I won't pay more for 

Sunglasses, because I just lose them

I won't pay more for valet parking......I need the walking anyhow

or


for earrings because I often lose them too.

How about you?  What will you pay a little more for?
and what will not pay more for??

Oh I'm with you - I'll pay more for real maple syrup, good emergency pet care, sock yarn and sometimes fabric. I won't pay more for most groceries, health club memberships, coffee (even though I'm from Seattle and we are the original coffee snobs). g

I'll pay more for loose tea, good coffee (sorry, G), premium dog food, a great dress, quality make-up, a car that will last for 20 years...

I won't pay more for running shoes I can find in last year's colors... well, it seems my list of what I'll pay more for is longer! ;)

I am willing to pay more for the medication my doctor recommends unless he/she tells me the generic is just as good.

I prefer to shop at thrift shops before going to retail stores. So many people donate perfectly good items, and the price is generally reasonable at thrift shops, especially for books, kitchen tools, and clothing.

Hmmmm - I'll pay for a pedicure to treat myself. I'll pay to color my hair because I'm deathly afraid of doing it myself and frying my hair. I'll pay a little more for a fundraiser for things the kiddos are selling. :D

I hear you on the sunglasses, I will pay a little more for really great yarn, life is too short for cheap yarn if you ask me.
Hugs,

Hmmm....this is a hard one. I am pretty much a cheapskate across the boards-but then I did take an early retirement so I would have more time than money and have spent the last 3 years making an art form of spending less.

I, too, will definitely pay more for good hand lotion. I will pay more for cowboy boots.

I will pay less for just about everything else, honestly!14

I will pay a little more for good sock yarn too. I will pay a little more for food . . . the good stuff is worth it.

I will NOT pay more for a manicure. I destroy them within minutes. Sometimes I'll spring for a moderately priced manicure though. Sometimes the pampering of my cuticles and the hand massage is worth it even if I KNOW the polish won't last long.

Hmmm...I'll pay more for a good cup of coffee, lotion, a good pair of shoes that really fit well, and yes...sumptuous yarn!

But, I'm always looking/hoping for a good deal.

I am with you on the maple syrup. I'd add real vanilla to the list as well. Ohhh, and whipping cream. I only buy it about once a year, but I want the real deal when I do! :)

This is such a fun post!

Every Once in a While I Might Post

 Is that vague enough for you?  It has been a too busy complicated Spring.  I had no energy to blog.  All is well now, so I can share some things with you:   1. When I shoot photos of the moon I think of Dear Teresa.  Gone too soon. She took fabulous moon pictures.  2. I did not see one shooting star last night.  I only got up for a few moments around 3 a.m.  The local weather guy said he saw a few quick faint ones.   3. How can I can have one grown child in Oklahoma under flood watch, and One Child in Mexico under hurricane watch?  On the same day.  Tis true.  4. What have I knitted lately?  I am pretty sure I've ripped more than I've knit.  I ripped out a shawl that I was making up.  It was cotton and pretty.  I need to follow a pattern.  5. I was trying to make socks and decided to make mittens instead.  I haven't worked a thumb in a long time.  I may have to frog it too.  So I ha...

Dear buddy nurse and spay neuter pal Linda, came to visit yesterday.  We knitted. We laughed.  We shared books we are reading. She Showed me her scarf.  It looks like a shawl but it is a scarf. Here is her yarn choice. And the( OUCH) price.   It makes her happy to knit.  If Linda's happy I'm happy.  I dont' know the pattern and neither does she.  Her dog literally shredded her pattern.  She was at a point where she had memorized the easy part and she's nearly finished.  So there you go, anyone know the pattern? You are all so sweet about the move and the house. This morning I got my cuppa joe and headed to the porch to write you.  In the distance, my nearest neighbor, whom I can see through some trees.... well one of their teens came out, stretched, peed on their lawn casually, and then laid in his hammock for 5 minutes.  I'm sure he's not the first boy to do this.  I'm not even sure he's the...
