I bought a piece of 1.5 inch stiff foam to try to fix a sag in a bed. It didn’t work but having that thick piece of solid foam around has been a life saver.
Need something flat to put a laptop on? Throw it on the foam. Going to be doing something that requires you to be on your knees for a while? Get the foam!
It went from stupid purchase to something I’d gladly replace if it broke.
My wife got 50% off Lasik surgery in the early days of Groupon when they offered crazy deals. I thought it was really unwise to get eye surgery half-off. I’m usually a “you get what you pay for” kind of guy.
Turned out pretty well for her though.
I don’t see the problem with that
I see what you did there. Well, I half see it, anyway.
I don’t get why you would be hesitant at a discounted lasering… Discounts are not the same thing as a cheaper option that costs as much as the discounted price. Just compare it with anything else you’re able to get on a discount. A phone, for example. Would you think that the 500$ won’t perform as well if sold for 250$? No, it will perform just the same. But a phone that costs that 250$ from the onset, that is going to usually be worse than the 500$ one bought at half off.
So, a proper lasik surgery costs 1500$ (A price I found with a quick google search). That’s a bit steep. But your wife gets lucky and gets the half-off discount. Great, you got 1500$ worth of service for 750$. Now, a lasik surgery that is being offered at the 750$ normally, that would raise a few eyebrows for sure.
