    Headed to the planetarium with my youngest. Three tickets and a souvenir will probably be right at $40.  
    That’s a steal! I got my clock cleaned taking the family to the field museum last week. $40 was one adult ticket ($38 actually). 
    daaaaaaamn!  Was that the "suggested" donation?
    I'll ride the wave where it takes me......

    Lol...nope! More like the mandatory donation. Great experience but such a ripoff

    Betcha paid at least that for parking. We went to The Field Museum years ago.  We had a reciprocal museum pass, so admission didn't cost us anything, but they had a football game going on at the same time and wanted us to either park miles away and be bused in or to pay $45 to park.  We left the in-law's in the car and dashed through.  
    We made a few passes looking for metered parking but the odds are like winning the lottery. Ended up paying $30 to park in the adjacent lot. It sucks but I just go into days like that knowing it’s going to be a rip-off across the board. They’re infrequent visits and the kids love it so it’s worth it.

    I spent $40 on a burger, fries, & 4 bottled beers Monday. I should mention it was Matt’s Bar, it was a Jucy Lucy, and I was drinking Nordeast. Well worth it.
    Awesome!
    I want to do both places when I visit there next.
    How was the burger?
    Exactly as I remember it from last time.  Devoured it.  The molten cheese was a perfect warm-up to the freezing temps!

    This shows how $40 can be so well spent I. A single sitting.

    This thread could use a bump today....reading people say how they pay for fan club membership and miss on limited sales like the clear No Code demand a bump.

    BTW, I still don't have the fan club singles that inspired this thread (and so many others received) and I also was in a meeting and missed the drop on this No Code release.

    Big whoop.  Happy to be here anyway....hell, just today I bought a rack of lamb for more than $40.  That will make a tasty dinner and then process through my body.  
    :lol:

    Hopefully you laced it with something or put some green tobacco in it.

    i certainly hope I’m not getting charged $40 annually for …. forum posting privileges?  and …. there must be some other tangible benefit that currently exists ….

    hmmm ….

    Also, I just went back after a few hours and read some more of the whining -- this shit is top level stuff.
    You wanted the record -- you did not get the record -- 10 Club does not hate you.  Pearl Jam does not hate you.  The world will keep spinning.
    If you hate this so much let your membership lapse and that hugely important $40 (how darn important could it be if you are going to be outraged that you could not spend it on a record today?) flow somewhere else in your life so that you can be happier.

    Just for the stuff I just read I just ordered a pair of flip flops for $47.49.
    Thanks, I am going to like them!
