For example, Newsies souvenir cup:
This $7 cup was by far the best item compared to the $20 mug which just said newsies in newspaper type font or ugly rehired or useless key chains or even more overpriced magnets. I even got a beverage out of it.
Example #2
Britney Spears show in Vegas. Her shit ain't cheap and so I bought this cup which is actually pretty sturdy for $15 and that's without the alcoholic beverage that would come with it at full price. Similar type overpriced ugly merchandise.
These cups may be mass produced and poor quality, but I'd rather pay a few bucks for these than overpay for something I would only use for a few months.
Maybe the ultimate lesson is not to give into any impulse purchases and save my money!
