It's all relative

Yea, definitely hard to be frugal in other areas when I piss away so much money in the sc.

Strip clubs have made me a better tipper in general I think about lying conniving dancers and I think surly this guy serving my food and trying to make an honest earning deserves a better tip.
And then when I am at the club, I just think about the tip I left at dinner and think "well I tipped my waitress more than that and she didn't even have to take off her clothes."
So either way I end up throwing away a few extra bucks.
Thats why I'm a sucker.

I will use strip club logic many times too. It helps to keep my wallet open all the time! At least when I'm spending ITC or OTC - I know the return will be something I immediately enjoy.

I wouldn't know about plant prices, but strip club prices continue to be a value hard to beat.
