What Insane/Crazy Price did You Pay Today?

[Jstpssng]

Yeah, buckshot around here is like 24.99 for 5.

I would love to find some #6 in any gauge... and a reputable company. I have enough for a couple of my guns to last the next couple of years but like to keep more around. Of course the way that the bird hunting's been for the last decade, I probably have a lifetime supply.

Y'all have birds. lol We got Turkeys down here but that is about it. A few doves and a quail every now and then.

The sad thing is I needed them to finish today for the kids so I was in a hurry. The ACE is 2 miles away. I guess I really need to start shopping Amazon. Felt kind of stupid for paying that price.

I know the feeling; we are all of us rich and spoiled. Present company included. My dad - depression era Okie that he was - would have tied a knot in a piece of rope and called it done. Cost....less than a dollar. Way less if he already had a piece of rope. And he probably had lots.

Good times and good times seem to be natural economic cycles, so chances are our society will see those do-it-yourself days again. The days when we fix things rather than replace them - but I'm betting it won't be for awhile & much of the rest of the world is likely to see the down days before we do. .

Right now we are still to busy enjoying the fun life with our tractors. Making playground equipment and planting ornamental landscaping right here in Fat City, USA.

I was in the process of replacing some old lead capped nails with screws in my barn roof today and ran out of screws. Totally shocked when I saw $99.95 for 1,000 #10x1 1/2 roofing screws at Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/Metal-Roofin...&sprefix=metal+roofing+sc,aps,967&sr=8-8&th=1

I have been seeing tomato plants selling for 5 dollars a plant. I am glad I still have some local greenhouses to go to buy my tomato plants.

edit
Was pricing #2 and better Fir/Larch 2 x 6 x 16's to replace my small trailers bed $27.50 a piece

If I get fancy and select pressure treated $40 a piece YIKES!

Diesel jumped again, `$5.40 gallon

Every trip that I can ride my bike to town I will, but it won't haul lumber.

Still consider myself fortunate.

how about $590 for 3 led grow lights for my wife, so she can grow $20 worth of vegitables.

I don't believe I'd be using those to support the weight of anything I cared about. I'd be more inclined to use something like this:

The spring clips are rated for like 400 pounds each and it’s holding up a kids swing. I think it’ll be fine.

That is a good example, may have to change the crop
