Friends: 10 Ridiculously Expensive Things The Characters Bought
Throughout Friends, the group purchases plenty of things, some which make sense, and others which are extravagant and end up causing regret. Whether it's for themselves or for someone else in the gang, the gang certainly does end up purchasing plenty of different things.
Sometimes the price of those objects is revealed, clearly showing people how much they spent. Whereas other times it isn't revealed, and the prices are left for people to work out, but it is clear due to the object that it is expensive.
While not everything they buy is expensive, as Chandler and Joey prove when they buy all their Christmas gifts from a gas station. They certainly do know how to spend their cash, as we will highlight within this list.
10 Drumkit
A drumkit is a very strange purchase for any adult to be making for their friends when you consider none of them actually play the instrument. However, that is exactly what happens when Phoebe decides to buy Joey a drumkit, which she mainly does to convince Rachel to leave.
The pair have an agreement that Rachel will return to living at Phoebe's apartment, but she begins to worry that Rachel won't stick to that agreement. Because of that, Phoebe tries to make the living conditions awkward, and the gift of a drumkit is just one part of that.
9 A Bike
While it's unknown exactly how much Ross spent on this gift for Phoebe, bicycles for adults aren't exactly the cheapest of purchases, so it won't have been cheap. Ross picks up the bike as a present for Phoebe, proving how good of a friend he is to her.
It's custom made to feature different things that Phoebe wanted to have on it, however, what Ross didn't realize was that Phoebe actually couldn't ride it. They then had to try and teach Phoebe how to actually ride a bike within the episode, which led to some hilarious moments.
8 Pat The Dog
Another item that the price of is unknown is the white porcelain dog that showcases Ross once again showing he is a good friend. It is Ross who makes the purchase of Pat, which proves he is always happy to buy something in order to cheer his friends up.
After Joey is fired from Days Of Our Lives, Joey has to sell everything he purchases back as he can no longer afford them. Even though what he bought is totally ridiculous, it just makes him sad to lose them, which is why Ross picks up the dog as a way to cheer him up.
7 Sting Tickets
Ross and Phoebe's attempts to secure Sting tickets is absolutely hilarious. With Ben being in the same class as Sting's child, Phoebe attempts to pretend to be his mom in an attempt to get to know them and secure free tickets, only to wind up getting a restraining order put against her.
However, that doesn't mean that the pair give up on going to see the music legend. In the end, after all of Phoebe's ridiculous attempts to secure tickets, it is Ross who comes up with the goods. He buys two tickets for him and Phoebe, meaning they get to experience the gig after all.
6 Apothecary Table
Another purchase that involves Phoebe is the infamous apothecary table that Rachel buys while the two of them are sharing an apartment together. She buys the table from Pottery Barn but knows how Phoebe feels about chains like that, and that she doesn't want them in her house.
So instead, Rachel plays down her purchase and claims that it came from a flea market, making Phoebe agree to have it inside the apartment. She's obviously shocked by the high quality of the table from such a place when in reality, it was an expensive purchase.
5 Monica's Boots
One of the most expensive purchases made on the show is by Monica, in season eight. She makes the decision to pick up some really expensive boots, which she admits are way too expensive. While she doesn't reveal a price, she does claim they cost more than the rent that they pay, proving how expensive they are.
The boots cost so much that Chandler wants to return them immediately, but Monica eventually promises that she will wear them so often it will be worthwhile. However, the boots end up causing her so much pain that Chandler has to carry her home, unable to return them due to the fact Monica's feet have bled inside.
4 A Pin
This is a gift that is higher on the sentimental value but also did cost a lot of money as Ross gifts Rachel an expensive brooch, which was just like one her grandmother used to own. This was a birthday gift and it's one that cost Ross a lot of money to buy.
This is a huge moment for the show as it really is a declaration of Ross's love for Rachel, and it is something that makes her realize exactly what is going on between them at the same time. It kickstarts their epic love story and is one of the most expensive purchases of the show.
3 Best Buds Bracelet
During the season two episode, 'The One With The Prom Video,' Joey gets his best friend, Chandler a gift after years of leaning on Chandler financially. He buys a golden bracelet that has 'Best Buds' inscribed upon it, which Chandler mocks in front of him.
To make matters worse, Chandler then accidentally lost the bracelet, which led to him buying another one (adding to the price of it all!) However, he then finds the other and the two men then end up becoming, 'Bracelet buddies,' donning the expensive jewelry.
2 Rachel's Cat
One of the most expensive purchases throughout the show, which has a confirmed price is Rachel's cat. This purchase cost her $1,000, which was a huge sum of money for Rachel to throw down, despite this being something she claimed she always wanted.
However, things didn't quite go to plan for Rachel with this purchase. The cat clearly wasn't the loving type that Rachel had hoped for, instead, it would hiss at her and scratch her arms to pieces, forcing her to wear oven gloves when she held the animal.
1 Sportscar
Throughout Friends, it is rare that we see any of the main gange driving or being in a car, but when the group turns 30, Ross decides to treat himself to a brand new sports car. Despite the fact that he apparently drives it incredibly slowly, he still buys it anyway.
Everyone enjoys taking turns in the car throughout the course of the episode, and even though it's not mentioned again by the show, it is still a very expensive purchase. The actual figure is never revealed, but sports cars don't exactly come cheap.
