How much do fake breasts cost?

Someone close to me got breast implants recently. This spurred a lot of conversation as you can imagine. Like did you know that breast implants cost around $5,000-$10,000? Most people spend between $7-10,000. That made me think about how much things cost. Let's see what else you can buy for $7,000:

28,000 quarter slots games
8,750 candy bars
350 private music lessons
280+ Kiva loans
140 tanks of gas at $50 per tank
70 weeks of groceries at $100 per week
10 basic laptop computers
7-10 pure bred dogs
7-10 (44 inch) flat screen TVs
3 cruises for two to an exotic location with airfare
A high-end racing bike

At the end of the day, we spend our money on what we want, but it is interesting to think about the value we place on things in our society.
