HW Post due Friday 1/39: Elastic/Inelastic

Make a post on THIS comment (theres a button right below these words) in which you describe two goods that are ELASTIC to you and two goods that are INELASTIC to you.

Each good must have at least a one sentence explanation of why it is elastic/inelastic and the description should have a solid grounding in economic language. No post can repeat the items of a previous post so post EARLY.

My examples:

Videogames are an inelastic good to me because I need them, and there are definitely no close substitutes for Halo or Metal Gear Solid.

Deadorant is elastic in my opinion because I can make it through the day without it and if it comes to it I can always just wear an undershirt.

Have fun with these and be creative! One point extra credit if I lol.
