Bill loves to watch infomercials and yesterday he was really impressed with the nuwave oven so I thought that would make another cool Christmas present for him so I ordered it online and by the time I was finished the total cost was 250 dollars and I was shocked, needless to say he got very ticked off at me and told me to cancel it, that he didn’t want me to spend that much money on something he would probably only use a couple of times.

I was on the phone holding for an hour before I could cancel the darn thing, but in the mean time I checked Boscov’s because they usually have everything that is shown on television and they have the white one on sale for 99 dollars of course it doesn’t come in black and you don’t get all the accessories, but it wont cost me 68 dollars shipping either. At any rate if it works the way they advertise it then that should be good enough. I really am thinking about a parental block on the infomercial channels.

Since it’s infrared it’s suppose to cook food in half the time even frozen food and all the fat collects in a drip pan so you don’t have to worry about consuming that. I was reading reviews and many people loved it, but there were also negative reviews, like the dome cracks after extended use and a few other negatives, but because he seemed to like it I went ahead and ordered to surprise him because he loves to cook and we are trying to eat healthier and it even cooks a 14 pound turkey frozen.

He wanted one of those magic bullets last year really bad because of the stupid infomercial and I think he’s used it to make milkshakes a couple times so I should have learned my lesson for 70 bucks that’s a mighty expensive milkshake machine. From now on when he is watching how cool those products are on television and making comments about how he would like to have something I will totally ignore him, if he wants it that bad then he can order it himself and not get mad at me for spending my money on him.

It’s so hard to get hints from him about what he would like to have so my ears perk up when I hear him say he would like to have something however I did agree with him this time because that was way over what I had intended to spend. If I was rich of course I’m sure he wouldn’t have gotten so upset over the price, he does really hate it when I spend any money on him, but he expects to spend his on me. I’m not complaining, but I also like to be a giver and he’s so hard to buy for. No more infomercial ordering for me I’ll just give money.

Everything looks so good, doesn’t it? And so easy? I just want everything. And then just as you said, it gets used once or twice and then just clutters up the house. Now, yes I don’t want to waste money, but more importantly, I just do not have the room for any more junk!
