Mine was yesterday, I bought a papa john's pizza of medium size and some garlic knots. I was feeling like shit because my job and store is very good at that, so I stress ate. I contemplated in the car which would've been more valuable for my buck to dine with. I picked pizza.

$20 (more like $27 but I took away the price of the knots) was what it cost for a meats-based medium sized pizza from there. The problem I had with the pizza was that it didn't look like a medium, it looked like the smaller-end of a medium. Secondly, the person cutting the slices did a shit job, because I had two smaller slices than the rest. And I felt there wasn't enough meats spread evenly.

I honestly should've picked a chinese buffet because at least I would have variety and I could eat as much as I wanted. Plus saving a few dollars.

This is the first and last time I'm ordering something out of my comfort budget.

I used to do the same, and for stationary PCs, that's still my recommendation. Sure, some might actually need bleeding edge stuff for for some specific niche high performance thing, but for most people that's a waste of money.

The only exception is for laptops. I rely on laptops as I'm often on the go, and I've generally had better results when going high end (within reason) than going mid-tier.
