15 Things We Won’t Buy—Even at 99.99% Off

Being frugal is cool now—but even at 99.99% off, most people still wouldn’t buy meth, gas station sushi, or a used pair of undies.

 In a new poll, 61% of Americans say being frugal has become COOL, which is convenient because nobody can afford anything anymore.  But that doesn’t mean we’ll buy ANYTHING just because it’s on sale.

Someone recently asked the internet, “What’s something you’d never buy . . . even if it was discounted by 99.99%?”  And here are some of the responses:

1.  The nasty fabric toilet seat covers that Grandma used to have.  Usually in “nice, calming cerulean blue.”

2.  A “get rich quick” course from a 20-something on TikTok . . . with a Lamborghini in the background.

3.  A live rhino.

4.  Gas station sushi.

5.  Meth.

6.  Ivory tusks.

7.  Used underwear.

8.  An NFT.

9.  The “premium” level on a social media service.  Like X and Snapchat.

10.  A trip down to see the wreck of the Titanic.  Still too soon?

11.  A boat.  There’s way too much maintenance and monthly costs.

12.  Black licorice.

13.  An OnlyFans subscription.

14.  Crocs.

15.  Sugar-Free Gummi Bears.

A lot of people said “a Tesla” . . . probably because of Elon Musk’s controversial work with the government, or because of quality and electric vehicle concerns.  But let’s be real, regardless of political persuasion, you’d be INSANE to pass up a $5 car.

Meet Scott and Sadie: the anti-heroes of morning radio turned podcast renegades. Scott’s 40 years in broadcasting have left him fluent in snark, while Sadie’s nepotistic origins (thanks, Mom!) brought the unfiltered charm that made them a Northern Colorado favorite. After corporate radio ghosted them harder than a bad Tinder date, the duo ditched FCC babysitters and went full rogue. Now, they’re back with a podcast that’s equal parts wit, sarcasm, and a big middle finger to mediocrity. Loyal fans, curious newcomers, or algorithm strays—welcome to the chaos.
