In a new poll, 61% of Americans say being frugal has become COOL, which is convenient because nobody can afford anything anymore. But that doesn't mean we'll buy ANYTHING just because it's on sale.
Someone recently asked the internet, "What's something you'd never buy . . . even if it was discounted by 99.99%?" And here are some of the responses:
1. The nasty fabric toilet seat covers that Grandma used to have. Usually in "nice, calming cerulean blue."
2. A "get rich quick" course from a 20-something on TikTok . . . with a Lamborghini in the background.
3. A live rhino.
4. Gas station sushi.
5. Meth.
6. Ivory tusks.
7. Used underwear.
8. An NFT.
9. The "premium" level on a social media service. (Like X and Snapchat.)
10. A trip down to see the wreck of the Titanic. (Still too soon?)
11. A boat. There's way too much maintenance and monthly costs.
12. Black licorice.
13. An OnlyFans subscription.
14. Crocs.
15. Sugar-Free Gummi Bears.
