Intrinsic Product Qualities

More often than not, people often satirise me as "that guy who saves every cent" or "the dude who won't pay for anything". To an extent (i.e. it's the truth), that is the truth. But sometimes I do want to be the person who is willing to listen to what a product has to offer rather than how much it costs, to experience the convenience of the current age instead of dulling those trivial pains. You know, I think it's time to stop this charade and just accept that money is just --
SLAP!
... Sorry about that, I was almost convinced that spending money is actually a normal thing to do.

Money is Time

A related mini-sequel to last week's comic. Over the last 4 - 6 months, I've been going to the same butchery, approximately everyday around the same time solely for their free rump steak samples. At this point, one of the workers remembers my face (but not my name, fortunately) and usually jokes about how I never buy anything. I remember getting a laugh out of him when I said I was paying for those free samples with my time. Those were the days... Those still are the days.

Over-analysed

A tribute to that one time I was wandering mindlessly around the supermarket, as I normally do, and noticed a plate of free cheese samples. Then I thought "This can't be right. This supermarket never hands out free samples of anything. Is this a trick? Maybe I should ask somebody..." and subsequently left the supermarket out of sheer confusion. Since then, I haven't really come across any free samples, but if I had only taken that free cheese then and there, would things have turned out differently...? 

Charity Worker Interaction Breakdown

A (hopefully obvious) exaggeration of a recent interaction I had with one of those charity workers that loiter around the train station and try to get you to sign up for a donation subscription you suddenly didn't know you cared about. The ones that ask for credit card details or personal information are usually the suspicious bunch to avoid, personally because they're the hardest to get away from once you get too deep into feigning interest in what they're talking about.
