    $1000 for a set of cookware - can this be justified?

    I used to think that way too, infact I am very frugal person and if it werent for the gift card, 20% discount and the $50 gift card that came with the purchase I wouldnt have bought the set. But the truth is, if you buy cheap you generally always buy twice. I was a professional motorsport...

    What's next on your wishlist?

    you're right. I knew this years return was going to big after last years. Last year I owed a total 27k, my state taxes I paid (4750) are deductable this year. In 06 I got married and had a kid, so that helped, its bumped down from the 28% tax to 15% which saved me a lot. I will be altering my...

    Just picked up a calphalon set

    an investment is how I was looking at it. I figured I could purchase mediocre pans for 200-300 or so and probably get a good deal on them but in the end they will still be mediocre who knows how long they may last. The feel of quality in these pans is awesome, they feel like they are made to...
