Baked beans: it will put hair on your partner's chest!

Since I’m going to be writing a lot about my various addictions and expensive hobbies, I’ve decided I need a universal scale to measure the relative cash-to-gratification/ cash-to-starvation level of any particular potential purchase. The humble tin of baked beans is pretty much a staple in most of our lives… And shall henceforth be my currency!

Here’s how it works: on a scale of zero to ten, zero would be “cheap-cheap, you don’t even need baked beans!”; five would be “you need to make a tin of baked-beans last for five days to afford this” and ten would be “rather buy a stake in a baked-bean company.” Maybe not elegant, but simple. And the rule from now on!
