If you spring for a bottle of the Macallan Master Decanter Series M whiskey, you’d better savor every sip. This single malt whiskey, which was aged for up to 73 years, sells for $5,559.99.

What does $56 laundry detergent smell like? According to The Laundress, their signature detergent’s classic scent is “the ultimate ‘clean laundry smell,’ blending lily of the valley and jasmine with sweet musk, sandalwood and a touch of citrus.”

Buying La Mer is probably the closest you can get to spreading money all over your face. The brand’s signature Moisturizing Soft Cream — made with its patented Miracle Broth — costs $1,250 for an 8.4-ounce jar.

You can literally flush money down the toilet by purchasing the Neorest 750H Dual Flush Toilet, which costs nearly $14,000. It does come with some fancy bells and whistles that almost justify the insane price tag, however: It’s self-cleaning and also features a heated seat, deodorizer and warm water sprays.

Getting a good night’s sleep is said to be priceless, but the cost of this flat sheet might challenge that. The SFERRA Giza 45 Seta flat sheet is “crafted with the world’s finest and rarest Egyptian cotton” and retails for $1,691 for a king-size sheet. That’s just for the flat sheet — if you add a king-size fitted sheet, that’s an extra $1,585, and it’s an extra $557 for each standard-size pillowcase.

Most fine fragrances are expensive, but Chanel’s N°5 Parfum Grand Extrait is on another level with a price tag of $2,150 for 7.6 fluid ounces. What makes this perfume so pricey is actually the bottle, which is hand-sealed by baudruchage, a process that involves covering the neck of the bottle with a fine membrane, which is held in place by a strand of pearl-cotton thread and then sealed with a wax stamp.

Mason Pearson is the creme de la creme of brush brands, and with a sticker price of $240, you’d hope that it could magically style your hair for you. Alas, it’s just a very expensive hairbrush made from boar bristles and nylon tufts, though it does claim to smooth and sleek hair better than other brushes.

You can now pay $635 to buy brand new sneakers that look like they’ve been worn for years. Golden Goose’s sneakers are known for their “vintage finish,” which means they’re complete with scuff marks and dirty soles.

You can still buy a toothbrush for under $1 these days, or you could spend $299.95 for a Philips Sonicare DiamondClean Smart 9700 Series toothbrush. The toothbrush uses sensors to “perfect your technique” and comes with five different modes and three different intensities.

Stearns & Foster’s Lux Estate Cassatt 16-Inch Luxury Ultra Plush Euro Pillow Top Mattress might just be one of the priciest mattresses on the market, with a retail price of $2,969 for a king. The mattress features Indulge HD Memory Foam, a high-density innerspring design, a top layer of moisture-wicking fibers and an AirVent system.

Some people are very serious about their grilling, but not everyone is — or should be — willing to pay nearly $4,000 for a barbecue. The Kamado Joe Pro Joe 24-Inch Ceramic Kamado Grill promises to “infuse rich, smoky flavor to just about any food” for a price tag of $3,699.

It’s unclear why one would need an entire wheel of Parmigiano Reggiano cheese at their home, but if you do, that will set you back $2,999.95, courtesy of Williams Sonoma.

It would take an incredibly distinguished palate to justify spending $33,000 on a single bottle of wine — the cost for a 1945 Château Mouton Rothschild Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend.

Baby care items are a huge business, and some items are just unnecessarily overpriced. Take, for example, the Silver Cross Balmoral Hand-Crafted Pram Stroller, which sells for $3,999. The handmade stroller features a chrome chassis, hand-stitched fabrics and hand-painted detailing.

If you like crunching ice after you finish your soda, you might be suffering from anemia. Also known as "pagophagia," the compulsive eating of ice may not just be a nervous tick, but a way of cooling inflammation in the mouth caused by a lack of iron, according to the Mayo Clinic. So if you like chomping down on those cubes, get thee to a doctor, stat.

Don't have the cash for rent or a down payment? You're not alone. For the first time in over 130 years, more people between 18 and 34 are living with their parents than on their own or with a partner.

In some states, you can request that the DMV re-examine a senior citizen. So if Grandpa Joe isn't taking the hint that he's not safe behind the wheel, you can put the responsibility for nagging him about it solely on the shoulders of the DMV.

If you've never cleaned your dishwasher, it might be time. Look up some instructional videos or hire a professional, and get that thing in tip-top shape. It will greatly improve your machine's performance.

Most modern microwaves come with a mute option. Sometimes it's as easy as finding the button that has "mute" written on it in small letters and holding that down for a while. Otherwise, check your owner's manual and exponentially improve your quality of life.

If you stop taking antibiotics before you're supposed to, any bacteria that didn't get killed can develop an immunity to that antibiotic and become a super-strain that's much more difficult to kill in the future. So keep taking your pills, even if you feel better.

We did that with my mom.

She and her man-friend had a very strong reaction when we tried to get her to stop driving.

We enlisted the Michigan Secretary of State's office and let them be the bad guys. They took her license. End of conversation.

Friend of mines dad had a wreck and was getting to where he would not know where he was. There was a service that came to the house and gave him a oral and driving test. He flunked the oral test and they ask my friend if that was enough and he said you better try the driving part. They didnt make it out of the driveway before the examiner had enough. There was some sorta funny stories with this. When this starting happening, it was spring and my buddy had a motorcycle and 2 cars stored in a ladys garage. They went and got them and about a couple weeks later, my friend couldnt find his car covers. He asked his dad and he said he had not seen them. Then he found a bunch of blankets that were supposed to go to Goodwill and a light went off. He said to his dad, did you take those blankets to Goodwill. He said yes. My buddy called and car covers were long gone by then. Theres been several other stories and just gets worse
