When did you not get value for money?

Ditto!

anytime i bought an ibm/windows product.

A brand new car.

A 28 year old home.

Most all modern hollywood films since the mid 90's.

Most all "remastered" audio cd's ever.

Most all new music from the mid 90's to current  (1-2 songs are good, rest suck).

Most all new consumer electronics manufactured since the late 90's.

Just about anytime i patronize a restaurant.

Same with going to see a live concert.

Driving on the toll way.

Shopping at the grocery store.

Paying the electricity bill.

Purchasing new clothes, shoes and belts.

The pump as someone else already mentioned.

Anytime i've made an "upgrade" to a new os on an older computer, with exception to amigaos 3.9 (mostly talking about mac's and ibm's).

The $150 i spend a month on cable tv/internet/phone.

The $900 i recently spent on my cat that needed 3 stones removed from her bladder, despite the fact i raised her on "the thinking persons cat food": Wysong, but i'm glad it's done. She's still a "bitch" though.  Lol

anytime we pay the property taxes. Or most taxes - period. But property especially. What a crock of legally organized crime that is.

Health insurance premiums and the "healthcare" you receive today by monkeys.

Anytime we purchase fertilizer or grass seed and try to distribute it evenly on the yards. Note to self: Drop spreaders suck - must try broadcast spreader next.

When i was younger, i'd purchase the occasional "ready to assemble" piece of furniture. Haven't for the past 15+ years, but if i did - i'd certainly complain about its value.
