Here’s a special deal for anyone looking to frivolously blow money with little cause. The Kensington Pro Fit 2.4GHz Wireless Full-Size Mouse is apparently a rather nice mouse. It has a high resolution, a 5-year warranty, and a large shape that may be comfortable for people with large hands. However, it’s a stretch to suggest that it is worth $150.

Especially if you consider that the exact same mouse — but with a wire — is $30. That’s right, the Kensington Pro Fit USB/PS2 Full Size Wired Mouse appears to be the very same mouse but with a cable coming out of it.

Sure, there is a bit of elegance to a wireless mouse. You can; well… you can walk to the other side of the room and still use it? Not really sure, but maybe it’s just nice to not have that cord on your desk. But is it really worth $120 just to be rid of that cord?

 

Just because something costs a great deal of money, that does not mean it necessarily looks good. Why, take the Casablanca Candelier Ceiling Fan for example. It features more than 40 fake-flame candles, to give that completely inauthentic old-timey look to an otherwise highly modern looking ceiling fan. Brilliant!

But wait, there’s more! The fake candles are made out of real wax. So even though they cannot be lit with real flame, they can integrate dust into themselves. If you’ve ever seen a wax candle that has been sitting around for years, you may understand: wax pulls dust into itself over time. So this fan gives the truly authentic look of a bunch of candles sitting around for years. And it only costs you a little over five thousand dollars! Now that’s a deal you can take home, install, and regret for a long time.

 

A shower head splits up a stream of water into many smaller streams. There’s not much more to it. It’s basically just a piece of metal with holes in it. But that’s no reason it can’t be a huge money-spending opportunity!

How much would you spend for a shower head? $10? $20? How about over $3,000? That sounds better, right? Well you’re in luck! The Hansgrohe Raindance Imperial 600 AIR Shower Head lets you spend more than is humanly imaginable on a single bathroom part. Granted, it’s two feet wide. But it seems that a 2-foot circle of steel with holes in it could be produced for a bit less than $3K, couldn’t it?

But whatever the reason, just be happy that this great money-blowing opportunity is available. Note: other parts (not included) required for use!

 

Sunglesses are easy to lose, break, scratch, or otherwise make unusable, right? Well, that makes these Cartier Ruthenium Finish Sunglasses such a great way to blow some money. Every time you leave them at the beach, drive over them with your car, drop them off a balcony, or just “lend” them to a friend, you’re out another $1K-plus!

So instead of buying one of the thousands of less expensive pairs of sunglasses you should just stock up on these and waste your money in style.

 

Here’s a great opportunity to blow a lot of money on something you really can’t possibly want. You can’t, can you?

With an elegant (read: spiked!) pair of Ruthie Davis Women’s Spikette Deluxe Platform Pumps you can impress your friends with your ability to blow over a thousand bucks on something truly atrocious.

Or is there a good reason to buy these? Perhaps you just bought a Spiked Dog Collar for your bulldog or pit bull and you are one of those people that just has to coordinate with your accessories (and who thinks a dog is an accessory). So a mere twelve hundred bucks is a small price to pay to show the world what a, ahem, smart shopper you are, right?

 


If you’ve ever been to Florida, you may have noticed that alligators are as common as rats there… gigantic, deadly rats. So why is it that things made from their skin cost so dang much?

Like this Genuine Alligator Leather Cover Case for Apple iPad 2 which, at about $600, costs more than some iPads.

No keyboard, no stylus, just an iPad cover. For $600. Maybe you should buy a few just in case… um, well, ya know, just in case.

 

Wasting money isn’t just about dropping thousands of dollars on big-ticket items. You gotta keep the little things in mind too. Even the stuff you use every day, like shampoo. Now there’s a great money-blowing opportunity.

What do you spend on a bottle of shampoo? Judging by the grocery store aisle, most people probably spend somewhere between $2 and $12. What a waste of a money-wasting opportunity! There are some wonderfully expensive shampoos out there. Like Kerastase Bain Oleo Curl Shampoo, which is only about $100 for a liter. As the description says, it contains cationic polymers. So you know it has to be good. Though at a hundred smackers a bottle, one has to wonder if maybe it contains a flatscreen TV too.

 

Tuck your kids in at night, tell them a nice bedtime story, then tell them that if they’re not quiet, the vicious lion in the corner will come to life and rip them to shreds in the night.

Why else would you spend over $5K on the handmade Steiff Giant Studio Lion to snarl at you in your own home? It sure will do the job better than a $8 Orion the Lion Beanie Baby. And more importantly, it will get rid of a lot more of your cash! That’s what toy-buying is all about, right?

 

If you’re looking to burn money, caviar can be a great help.

Here’s a particularly good one for getting rid of your cash:  Bemka Caspian Imperial Wild Caviar. You can get a mere sixteen ounces for just a bit more than $2,700! That makes for a great gift, don’t you think?

And to go with your $170/oz fish eggs, Sir Spendalot recommends Noel Saltin Noel Butter And Cheese el cheapo crackers for a buck eighty. The contrast between the ultra-expensive and the ultra-cheap makes for a particularly luxurious delicacy.

 

Hair stylists are usually filthy rich, right? That’s why they tend to buy sheers that cost nearly $1,200 like the Kamisori Dm-1 Emerald Professional Hair Shears, right?

One has to wonder just what makes these sheers worth so vastly much more than their $12 counterpart.

The astonishing part is that these aren’t even the most expensive ones around. In fact there are lots of amazingly-high-priced shears. So stylists are really buying these? Do these do the hair cutting for you or something?

Makes me wonder if I’ve been over-paying my stylist.
