Ways You're Wasting Money

[A HERETIC I AM]

5. No doubt.

Unless you make the mistake of wearing them while breaking down a display like this:



Which I did all the time because of time restraints. I had to wear dress slacks and a Polo type shirt doing that gig. I had probably 6 or 7 pairs of slacks, but I was having them cleaned after 2 or 3 wearings at the most. And yes, too much dry cleaning makes good wool slacks shiny and ruins them, but there you go.

But anyway, I understand your point and you are correct. When I was a broker, I would have a suit cleaned after every 8 or so wearings. Shirts were done just about each wearing because I lived in SW Florida and I just don't like wearing undershirts (It's frickin HUMID in Fort Myers!). Not to mention a nicely starched shirt looks good and starched for one day and that's about it!

To the point Commonsenseparty is making though, one of my biggest money wasters over the last year has been eating out. I'm now driving OTR hauling cars, and one gets damned tired of fast food real quick for every single meal, so eating in places like a Longhorn or a Texas Roadhouse gets pricey, but doing so is necessary in order to get a decent meal. Keep in mind as a driver of a vehicle over 80' long when loaded, I am limited to what I can eat by where I can park or how far I am willing to walk.
