What's the best purchase you've ever made so far, 2013 edition

My mountain bikes. Not because if what they are...but because of what they let me do.

been stressed at work, so I fixed it

Does that stuff actually work? I use to go down with smoking. But now I've cut that out.

It helps. I use it at work because I get a bit stressed out. Better than going out for a smoke 10 times a day.

I wouldn't use it if I was trying to quit smoking altogether. Every puff is just a reminder of smoking.

The stripper pole is a nice touch. You need some girlie posters to get the full mancave effect, though.

Custom Wavefront PRK. $4k or so and best money I ever spent. Vision is at 20/15 with little to no side effects.

Ditto, but I had just basic lasik

You're giving me some ideas. I've got a bunch of playboys from the 60's and 70's I could make a nice collage.

Good looking TV. I love my P65ST50.

Eh, that's a hard one. I'll say my widescreen LCD television (LG 42LD450 42" 1080p, bought for $500 in 2010). Well, maybe not. I think my 2011 Honda Civic I bought this past May for $11,000 was a great deal (44,000 miles, great condition). My M1 Garand for $525 was good too. Hahaha, hard to pick.

For me, it's my Rinnai Tankless natural gas water heater. I'm saving $30/month on my electric bill, I no longer have a water tank in my laundry room (freed up 10 sq ft of floor space) and will get a $300 tax credit back this year.

At $30/month, it shouldn't take long to pay off the difference of buying another tank water heater since I did the install myself and bought it for cheap from an ebay seller.

my Synology NAS... I use it pretty much every day and it's so nice to be able to have access to all my media/files from any computer (or DLNA-capable device) in the house without having to turn on my desktop in the home office.

Agreed, I got the 1512+ and use it every day, almost all day. Awesome device!

Nothing really stands out as the best purchase I ever made.

My Chromecast is pretty great in terms of value received per dollar paid.

I've been wearing the same $20 belt almost every single day for 15 years. It still looks good. That was a good buy.
