Is your life worth $12?
Is your life worth $12? My husbands apparently isn’t. You see I went grocery shopping the other day and came back with a 1kg kitchen fire extinguisher. Well the neighbours must have thought world war three had stated because my husband was not happy. I know money is tight (it has been for the last 12 years) but I had been eying off these little extinguishes for a couple of months now and at last they were on special. Not just on special but on clearance… I could have shouted for joy in the isle when I saw the tag reading $12. They are normally $30 and I knew we couldn’t afford that but at $12 I couldn’t leave the last one on the self. I made sure it wasn’t expired or damaged ,which it wasn’t, and I bought it! You see a few months back I was making some chips for the kids but I used a pot that was too small so when I put the chips into the hot oil it overflowed and hot oil ran over the edge right onto the flames from my gas cooker. I turned the flames off straight away but if I was any slower a fire most certainly would have started. For me $12 buys piece of mind and possibly a life saver but to Luke $12 buys two family meals. I think he is seeing reason for my purchase now but when he first saw that extinguisher in the shopping bag he could have dropped dead… if only he had a heart condition!

I think these babies are worth every single cent! $12 is a bargin. Make sure that you turn it upside down every now and then so everything doesn’t just sit on the bottom. Once a month pick it up and let everything fall to the top and then leave it be for another month…that’s what I got told when we bought ours from one of those stands in the shop.
