Have you not considered
that getting a pet may be substantially cheaper? It'll also be faithful to you if you feed it, unless it's a cat of course in which case your natural role in life is to feed it and don't expect any gratitude!

Hmmm, a pet, a blow up doll and a radio, I think that covers most bases...
