Either way, I'm sure it's gotten them a mess of people lining up outside their doors, which was probably the intended reaction.

dont skimp on pocketknives, either. a kershaw will suffice, but bite the bullet and get a benchmade.
your wallet - it should be nice and durable, no nylon bullshit, genuine leather all the way.
resounding agreement on the issue of headphones.
lighters - get a bic! dont even think about that crappy piezo lighter, or the flat sided gas station generics!
Things you CAN skimp on:
Sunglasses
MP3 Player (don't skimp TOO much)

nah im loyal to sandisk e200 series. tough as rocks, cheap as hell, and i've managed to destroy enough of them through extreme abuse over time that i have tons of cables and spare batteries, as well as a few backless, screenless carcasses that function as auxiliary battery chargers.

Beer. I love PBR to death, and drink it exclusively when im on a budget, as i am now, BUT if that six pack cost less than $7, you're drinking swill.

PBR and Genessee Ale for $2 a pop, served by slutty tattooed barmaids who are generous with the buybacks, while Johnny Cash and Hank Williams blast loudly from the jukebox.

GPS: Garmin Nuvi. Don't bother with anyone else.
TP: Cottonelle. I would rather not wipe than use something different.
Laptops: Apple, Lenovo, Dell
Bread: Roman Meal.
TV: Sony Bravia, Pioneer.
Everything else I get generic. Even underwear.

Don't spend less than $1000 on a mattress that you plan on keeping for any period of time. Now if you go to a one-off kind of place to purchase this mattress, you can often get a $3000 mattress for your $1000. The catch is that the box spring may not match the sheets. To prevent this from being an issue, buy a plain black (or color of your choice) fitted sheet to go over the box spring. Then you'll never notice the difference in color, plus have a much better quality of mattress to sleep on.
Buying a cheap mattress is even worse of a faux pas than buying a cheap TV. Sure, you want the TV to last for years and years, while operating for several hours a day. The mattress you pretty much sleep in every day for typically 6-8 hours and you want it to last 15-20 years. See the math here? Now, this is something that contributes directly to your body's health by providing a comfortable place to rest, and support for your spine.
Save yourself some sore backs and chiropractor visits, get the good mattress up front.

I rarely trusted POIs on any GPS. Use Google Maps (mobile) if possible.
