Speaking of accessorizing:
Chihuahuas as a fashion item.

The cell phone thing, I have to say I disagree with. The bells and whistles for it, yes, but I gave my cell phone and pay for it for my friend with her baby. Her car is in bad shape, she doesn't have the money to fix it and a few times in the winter, my phone has been what allows her to get home when her car breaks down. Otherwise her and the baby girl I normally watch would have probably frozen. It's very useful as a saftey measure.
I used to use mine as I was often out and at a friends house for days on end to avoid my old roommates. The fact I had a large number of friends out of state for college and such made it cheaper to keep my phone with me, than to pay for a line at home with long-distance, and the charges I'd rack up with calls while at a friends house.
I can't stand bottle water personally. A friend has well water and it is just disgusting to me, so they got a filter and a few water bottles. Works for them. They cashed out a few hundred dollars for a really nice filtering system up front rather than spend what, $2 a bottle for water that chances are is just tap water run through a filter and bottled.
Cosmetics products. I've gotten all of my girlfriends to not bother with make-up over time. It's time-consuming, expensive and I'd rather be looking at a girl as she is, for who she is, than at a mask. Thats just my opinion though.
"Extra cars" Someone with a run-down house, and clothes that most definately should be replaced because they're far too worn out and old to continue wearing pulled out of his yard in a shiny new PT Cruiser yesterday while I was driving by. Yes yard, his driveway was full of old, rusty cars. He keeps the shiny new car on display, while unable to pay for clothes or to fix his house.
Jewelry. Of all sorts. Waste of money.
Those REALLY expensive clothes with the logo on them you saw on tv? Yeah, those go on, come off, cover you and wear out just like everything else. The most expensive things I own for clothing is the hoody I bought for $40 dollars that says "also available in sober" on it. Expensive for me, but hey, it's cheaper than most of them at the mall for the same quality.
Those little lace things your wrap around your curtain rod. Not curtains, but they look "pretty", while doing nothing whatsoever to act as a curtian? Those REALLY bother me.
I have to admit, I love all the little gizmo's the people I rent my room from own in the kitchen. My friends call it the "Ronco kitchen". They have so many little toys for me to cook with. It's like my playground. I can slice dice, deep fry, rotisserie, smoke, dehydrate, blend, whatever, anything. So long as I know how to cook it, I can cook just about anything they can put out in whatever restaurant you can go to with the equipment they have. For a LOT less. If I want a burger and fries, I deep fry the fries while grilling my burger. Same as from a restaurant with no drive, and half the price, if not less. I just made beef jerky with their new smoker, for about $20 for 5 lbs. of it. If I go to the corner store, it's about $3 for 4 oz. I saved about $40 for a snack while I'm drunk.
