Random List of Things of Good Value and Utility

Some things that have turned out to be great investments: My sole pair of Izod jeans.  I think I got them for $18 at an outlet store, but the price itself isn’t what makes these my favorite jeans. They fit me really well in terms of not being baggy so it looks neat, but not

Bible Software with NKJV and NASB for FREE
