I’ll be the first to admit it: sometimes I can have a bit of a spending problem. I do my best to save my pennies, but I’m a firm believer in that you have to spend money to save money. Some of you may be unfamiliar with a seemingly backwards thinking concept, so let me explain how this works. If you are constantly saving, one day you’re just gonna freak out and buy everything in sight until your checking account is insanely overdrawn. Instead, you should save a little, spend a little. It’s a good practice, but someone like me needs to amp it up every once in awhile because my money burning ways get the best of me. So I like to look for items that can serve double-duty, or at the very least give the illusion of a two-for-the-price-of-one deal.
So you can’t look at the Five Finger Fillet Steak Knives (Perpetual Kid, $59.99) as just a set of knives because they’re so much more than that. Sure, this set of six stainless steel knives can be used traditionally for meals and such, but you’ve got to think outside the box. With such a creative presentation, the first thing that comes to my mind is self defense. I mean, they’re super sharp, durable, and apparently fit very nicely either between someone’s fingers or in the middle of their hand. Now that I think about it, these would probably work for some kind of circus act. You know, like a knifethrower and his lovely assistant? Just think of how awesome that would be!
See, the trick here is to look at the bottom line and then divide it by how many “deals” you’re getting. These can range from the blatantly obvious (2 shirts for $25, divide by 2), slightly more creative (one dress equals an entire outfit so divide by 2 or 3), and the generally absurd (spending $250 to get free shipping when all you wanted was one $40 item).
3 out of 5 stars.
