Say sayonara to sticker shock! Here’s some stuff that used to cost an arm, leg, fermur, and kneecap, but now caters to us cheap-os.

LeBron James’ Sneakers

High-end kicks will eat the heck out of your paycheck - especially if you're eyeing LeBron James' $200 signature sneakers. Foot Locker actually called out Nike Swoosh and said, "Bruh, these aren't selling as quickly as they could because the price is too damn high." And Nike Swoosh was like, "Ugh, okay, whatever. We'll slash it down to $175." So you can snag the upcoming Nike LeBron 14 for $25 less.

I know, I know - $25 doesn't seem like much, but think of all the things you can get! Like 1,000 live crickets, a solar charger for your phone, and an I Love Lucy blanket. Win!

Because we didn't want to eat Ramen Noodles for a month to compensate for the splurge, some of us looked at the XBox One price tag like, "Naaaah!" It was a whopping $499 when it hit the shelves three years ago. But guess what? Now Microsoft is dropping the XBox One to its lowest price point ever - $249. Not that they suddenly care that you to pay rent or anything, but the new XBox One S is launching soon, so yeah.

Commuting with Uber in NYC

"I'd rather take public transportation than ride an Uber," said by no one ever! And that's why the MTA (the entity behind NYC public transportation) is kinda freaking out. Uber is offering a much cheaper, more attractive alternative to riding on the stinky subway - a $79 per month pool service in comparison to MTA's $117 monthly Metrocard passes. Gee, which one should I choose?

A Ticket to the Rio Summer Olympics

Ticket sales in Brazil (which is in a recession, btw!) for this summer's Olympic games is damn-near tragic. Because, y'know, in such trying economic times, the first thing a Brazilian would want to do is shell out hundreds of dollars to watch a couple rounds of badminton. And yes, that was sarcasm. Because sales in the South American nation have been sluggish, Rio organizers have opened their local ticket website to International fans.

According to ABC News, tickets to the Olympics once cost $215 through the American reseller CoSport. But now, you can nab a seat the Olympics for a sweet $150.

Christ the Redeemer and Zika Virus, here we come!
