Save!  Nearly all the ones I've owned were hand-me-downs or gifts.  I've bought a couple here and there off the clearance racks or at Half-Price Books, etc.  Mostly, though, I try not to collect them at all, because any recipe I could possibly want is on a website somewhere for free.

We stole countries with the cunning use of flags. Just sail around the world and stick a flag in. "I claim India for Britain!" They're going "You can't claim us, we live here! Five hundred million of us!" "Do you have a flag …? "What? We don't need a flag, this is our home, you bastards" "No flag, No Country, You can't have one! Those are the rules... that I just made up!...and I'm backing it up with this gun, that was lent to me from the National Rifle Association."

Splurge! I like the bath sheet ones, the fluffier the better. "Normal" towels don't go all the way around, at least not all the way down.

Save. I don't paint my fingernails or get manicures because I don't like them and I bite my nails so there's no point. I do paint my toenails but I generally just pick something up at the drugstore for a dollar or two.

Save as we don't buy them anymore--just use washable cloths instead.
