Help Me Complete The List
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
Heaven help you if you skimp on that.

I suggest the twitter hashtag #neverskimp to make this whole process easier.

In business never skimp on customer service. We treat each and every visitor like royalty. It pays off ten fold with the amount of repeat business and referrals we get.
