Earlier this morning I made an observation on Twitter that seems to have sparked a healthy amount of RTs and discussion. That inspired me to expand on my list and solicit feedback from my readers. I am hoping we can come up with a list of 100 things for a later post.
Things you should never skimp on
- A Parachute
- Toilet Paper
- Birth Control
- Bacon
- Postage
What do you think? Help me complete the list! Leave a lashing below.

“A parachute” was my first answer, but a few others that occurred to me:
* Brakes
* Bottled water in a foreign country
* Plastic surgery
* Actually, surgery in general
* Webhosting
* The drives in a RAID array
* Your financial advisor
* Education
and finally, MOST crucially of all:
* Whiskey
