I agree with all except:

8. Live sporting events
I enjoy the ballparks. Traffic and expensive beer is just part of it all. I do not buy the expensive beer personally.

I'm with you on that Jim. $29.99 is about as high as I go. Cutting grass and other things I do in my sneakers has them ruined in a few month or so.

For $200 I'd expect a share certificate in the manufacturers business

Not trainers, but I have spent £200 on a pair of shoes before. They rocked. nicest shoes I ever had. Mind you, was horrified when I recently discovered you couldn't get a pair of Chuck Taylor Allstars for a tenner anymore.

Also happy to spend on going to the football, on decent jeans and on smokes for when I'm drinking even though I have 'officially stopped.'

'Mail order meat' sounds like a euphemism...just sayin'.
