Things I spent $40 on or: how I learned to stop worrying and love the Ten Club

So much discussion about the missing holiday singles -- we need to have more fun with this.
This is not a thread to say we should not expect the singles, or that people cannot be upset about the singles not being sent out.
This is a thread for some humor around the situation -- what things (today, in the past, etc) have you spent a fleeting $40 on?

I can see myself watching receipts from now on and sharing items frequently that are amusing, or perhaps just pedestrian. 

To start:
I spent about $40 on tolls/parking/train yesterday to drive up to Newark and then train into Manhattan and back.

    I just spent $50 on a Garth Brooks box set. I don't like country, but it's my Christmas present for my wife. It had vinyl and CD of all studio albums plus 1 live. I think it was a total of 7 of each.
    She's going to think I dropped $100 on this.

    Yesterday I spent $40 on two paint brushes, painting tape, spackle and a nice little painting bucket with a funny name that had a convenient handle.

    Paying me and my friends entry to a rockclub with a boring 80s screamy rock band playing, plus two drinks cost me 40 dollars. I think...

    But that $40 allowed you to pass those tolls, park your car, and use the train. What'd ya get for your $40 Tenclub membership this year besides the ability to post on this godforsaken message board?

    That said, as far as your premise, I'm actually with you. It's only $40. Take it or leave it. I think it's a pointless waste of money, but I'm willing to pointlessly waste that money on it every year.

    You shouldn't call Kiss "boring" and "screamy".

    I hear you...the difference between the $20 and $40 packages are probably a better piece to slice up but I am happy to pay $40.  I like this message board.  :)

    Just paid $88 for my quarterly trash bill to the city.  Could have just as well put my trash in my neighbor's bins.  Once per year (Christmas) might there be a time when I fill up the giant bin they give us.  Still -- less than $30 per month for trash?  I'm OK with that.
