    We (wife, MIL/FIL, MIL sisters/father from germany) went hiking to a sanatorium Saturday, then shopping all day to close out our registries lol.

    That was fun until the drive home when we started calculating how much we spent

    find someplace to write or engrave the date of purchase. Our egg beater from 1977 is still ticking, cook books still used, blender still blending. The glass portion of the blender was replaced 35 years ago when it broke during a 4 hr margarita marathon.

    I assume the reasoning for this is to look back eventually when various things die and see how long we used it for and figure out the cost/year of each appliance, right? Not a bad idea actually. I do a lot of research when buying bigger ticket items though and have never had anything die prematurely or before the time that I felt where I got my moneys worth out of it. But dang, an egg beater from 1977, thats impressive!

    Luckily I saved all of those mailer/spam 20% off savings flyers we get about once a week. Best thing about Bed Bath and Beyond is that they will always take those 20% off discount cards, expiration date of the coupon doesn't matter!

    It was a common occurrence back then. Actually it was more like 35 yrs ago (need to recheck my math) We still have an electric ice crusher, it ran as much as the blender. The friday Kamikaze $5 pitchers along with rocks glasses of tAkillya every other night, was an ongoing thing till we moved here. Then it slowed down to just weekends, or after a 10 hr day at work,

    Partially, its also helps when you "get older" and ask. How long have we had this? I still have my original tool set from 72, the box itself became a holder for misc hardware who knows how long ago...

    Our Kirby is still going strong.

    She never uses the damn thing.

    It's fun to ask the Kirby door-door salesmen what trade value they would give us on a new Dyson.
