What goods &/or services have you personally purchased with bitcoin and around how much have you spent? Let's leave out currency exchanges and donations.

I'm still saving up my coins but I'll probably buy some books from "Qugelmatic".

I bought a video game and sent out some bounties. That's about it so far, but I'm still pretty new at this, and pretty cheap in my daily life, and I'm not going to buy stuff I wouldn't otherwise just because it's priced in BTC.

1 pizza, 1 sandwich, and 1 pasta dish from dominoes for around 20BTC... pricey now, but not so bad then.

As we slide down the banister of life, this is just another splinter in our ass.

Mainly I've used it to pay people for work.

Also bought hosting.

A rent for a dedicated server to the user "just a man", but he deceived me and other people so it only worked for 2 months. See the forum thread for the full story.

I also played DoubleTrouble (and won).

I'd love to be able to spend more bitcoins, particularly on domain names, but last time I checked, it was a lot more expensive.

Best thing I've bought:  Boston Red Sox tickets (from a friend who has season tickets).
Second best: my alpaca socks.
And I've bought three or four lunches with bitcoins so far (also from friends-- they pay, then I repay them in BTC).

I really wish I had a use for Golden Mean Calipers, they look nifty.

How often do you get the chance to work on a potentially world-changing project?

Amongst other things, I used Bitcoins to buy a 100 Trillion Dollar banknote from Zimbabwe.
