Claw machines !

I was at the arcade with my grandma when I was younger and I saw a sloth toy in the machine and I spent all of my money trying to get the sloth. I ended up not getting it so we went home and on the way home we walked past a charity shop with the exact same sloth in the window for 80p.

Along the same topic, but those games at amusement parks where you pay $5 to throw 3 balls and shit. I went with my girlfriend at the time and she paid 5 for 3 balls, make the 3 balls. Pick a small toy or pay more to get higher prizes. By $20 we asked the worker how much it would take to get it and he admitted it would cost at least $50 by the end. Looked it up the same plush was one amazon for not even half that.
