First, second, and any other dates preceeding intercourse

Being the guy who buys and shares the drugs (always be the guy who gets shared with!)

Over the counter medications, i.e., store-label generic over brand name

Toilet paper, because that skin grows back.

Any form of digital entertainment, that is what the internet is for.

Condoms, if you get her pregnant you can just marry her.

I couldn't disagree more. Food is fuel for your body and has an enormous effect on overall health and longevity. This is one area where I refuse to cheap out. Doesn't mean that you have to eat gourmet or in an exotic fashion.

Agreed, unless you happen to be hosting a romantic interest in said room. Otherwise it's just a place to crash.

Preschools for your kids. I mean, c'mon, it's just a babysitting business anyway.

When was the last time you stayed in a genuine bottom of the barrel motel? There is a threshold for hotels. I'm hardly advocating going top end, but Holiday innish at least. The bottom rung stuff is to be avoided. You will wake up sore from a crappy bed, and the cleanliness is often in doubt. As for other things to cheap out on, painkillers and Oxiclean. Buy drugstore Ibuprofen, it's the same stuff as advil, but without the name and with a much better price. Unless you have problems with the hard tablets and need the gels or something, there's no reason to spend more. Oxiclean is a very cheap chemical available in a myriad of generic options. And I guess I can throw other meds in there. If there's a generic, there is absolutely no reason to pay for the name.

Not if Cohaagen has anything to say about it.
