Isn't spending money such FUN! However, when you are a business and you need to keep a tight reign is has to be CONTROLLED fun. My title of Operations Manager at Fantastic Fireworks sometimes translates to Chief Shopper. To go into a season with 100+ giant shows using 100+ giant firers and 200+ van-hire-days you need to make sure you do not run out of (takes a deep breath)* air gun nail pins, sticky hazard diamonds, 300mm wooden stakes, narrow guage electrical wire, fire extinguishers, helmets, hazard barrier tape, tachometer discs, gloves, elastic bands, mortar tubes, foil tape, hooded sweatshirts, vehicle hazard marking signs, sledgehammers, 'cake' boards, garden rakes, cable ties, black refuse sacks, 500mm wooden stakes, tie wire, overalls, and, essential to the fundamental functionality of employees, coffee. Lots of it.
* the list is MUCH longer but you get the gist ...
