Something you will never buy because of it's price. On principle alone.

Jesus. DO NOT BOTHER. Had one of my worst experiences watching an NFL game there in 2009. Sterile as hell inside, the scoreboard visibility was crap from where we sat, and the fans were super duper douchey. This was right after they went to the SB, so everyone there had cared about the Cards for about 10 seconds, but they acted like Steelers or Packer fans. The people behind us yelled at my wife for holding up a sign during a commercial break, with no action on the field. 

We ran into some Viking fans at Sky Harbor the next day. Lady said the crowd was taunting her 12-yr old son after EJ Henderson broke his leg. Literally the last place I would ever go for another game, pro or college.

Now if you're talking about Chase Field, that's different. Highly recommend. People are a lot cooler at baseball games, though.

Bummer. Sounds crappy.

Just a data point. I did a McD's Breakfast run Sunday Morning.  2  Egg McMuffin meals, ( so 2 hash browns also) one with a coke one with a coffee. Then one McGriddle a la cart..  $23.34 In CA was the total.

 Dayum. I went to my closest one in my neighborhood Saturday for breakfast. Two sausage biscuits, three hash browns, and a large ice coffee caramel frapachino for seventeen and change. And I thought that was a little high.  I went back on Sunday after I found out my local snowball stand, but it was closed for the season. So I went to MD and go two large milkshakes, one vanilla and one chocolate. Came out to eight and change. Not to bad.

 Then I went to gas up at the Racetrack and paid two eighty nine a gallon.

Cheesecake Factory. It's one of those places that over the years we like to get out and throw back a couple beers, get like a cheese dip appetizer and and eat whatever

 Just to get out and chill. The prices have been going up but whatever. The only problem is, a couple of the dishes we like, are just being skimped on as far as the portion sizes. That's just a slap in the face. The place isn't all that great, but we like the atmosphere and they are always busy so at least you know the food is moving and not sitting in the coolers for days. 

But hell, charge what you want but don't get cheap on me with the food. So in the end, we now more or less get a couple apps we like and a piece of cheesecake to go at the end.

Nothing because of price.

Many things because it's financially irresponsible.  Brand new cars comes to mind.

This.... a brand new car.  -30% depreciation as you drive off the lot.  What an absolute waste of money.

A really high end fishing rod.  I can't bring myself to spend $500 on a rod knowing I could easily break it.

Any rod you pay $500 for will have a break guarantee.  I guarantee.

Any car over 40k, ever

It better, but I still wouldn't want to deal with it.  The most expensive rod I have is a custom one that I got for my birthday last year.  I usually stick with the $100 and lower priced rods.

Any bridge, I learned that lesson the hard way.  Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, now I own two fake bridges.

I recently started ordering unsweetened tea with my meals when out.  $2.50-$4.00 for brewed tea is ridiculous.  Back to good ole water I guess.

Gas, only buy it because my cars need it, if they didn’t, I wouldn’t  buy it, it’s way over priced.  

This!  If my car didn't need it, and my lawnmower, and sometimes I'll just buy some for myself on a whim, well then fock the gas companies!

It's a matter of principle.

Expensive vodka. It’s all the same.
