Every hobby has a spending unit.

Race cars have a $1000 spending unit.  Everything can be purchased in multiples of $1K

Archery is $100 spending unit.  Everything is in multiples of $100.

When I only used Webers my BBQSU was $10.

Now since the egg and this forum it seems my BBQSU has been upped significantly.  Between RO lump stockpile, eggcessories, new knives, cutting boards, Thermapens, etc.

Tonight I just pulled the trigger on a KO Worksharp knife sharpener.  Seriously, I could have bought 3 OTG's off craigslist for the KO.  Heck, my last OTG I spent 3 months surfing craigslist and dickered over $5 before I finally got one for the price I wanted.  I blame this on you guys and the Green Egg!  It highlights all the areas my tools are lacking!

    This forum has atleast $100 spending unit and that's for the impulse buys. It just goes up from there.

    After acquiring the bge, I would say $100 SU is on point. Most things aren't terribly expensive, but add them all together and you have a big pile of money tired up!

    The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten!
    Nowadays people know the price of everything and the value of nothing!

    And independent of the toys, if you want to keep with the $100 SU on food just hang around Snake River Farms.

    No doubt the BGE is my equivalent of owning my Harley. You cant walk into either place without dropping a $100 every time. Or at least that what SWMBO says. Cool thing is she loves to ride and she loves good cooking, so I get a pass!LOL
