Fireworks: Most You've Spent?

Question for the readership:

What's the most you've spent on fireworks for one Fourth of July?

With a little under a week to go, my household has spent just a smidge over a hundred bucks on multicolored pyrotechnics and assorted versions of Dismemberment in a Tube.

And of that hundred bucks, a hefty chunk was for a 24-piece set of Excalibur shells. I can admit it: My inner Beavis always wanted to do some of these...



Anyway, this is the most I can remember spending in quite a while ... probably back to my high-school days. Which is ironic, because I feel about as unpatriotic and generally politically discouraged these days as I ever have.

Given the state of things economically, I'm also curious: Wonder how the fireworks stands will be making out this year...

Hmmm ... my hubby is usually good for over a hundred bucks a year in July 4th spending.

I guess it's more fun than lighting dollar bills and throwing them into the air....

We are spending ZERO! My neighbors spend tons so we are watching for free! Yes the same neighbors that have a high risk pregnancy going or the ones that won't pay for child care. Funny what some peope priorities are!
