You know you're a home brewer when?

You know you're a homebrewer when everytime you drink the beer you make,this happens:

When a buddy offers to pay for half a batch of a coors light clone...and you still brew a Belgian IPA because you can't stand having crappy swill in your kegs.

do the cream of three crops... It'll appeal to him as a BMC drinker, but it's actually good. Make him pay for the whole batch since it'll be like $10
I'm going to try to get it down even more by using grits vs flaked corn (that stuff is what cost the most) I also used regular rice and just boiled it before I put it into the mash.

Oh I've brewed that for him. And he likes it but I brew a California common style that kinda tastes like coors light that he loves and always wants me to have on tap but it's just boring to me unless I want to get fall down drunk.

When you're drinking tea / coffee / soda - and you try to figure out it's SRM
Looks like you got an empty tap there. Better get brewing
You find yourself checking out HBT posts instead of worrying about the date you have in half an hour.
But then you always look forward to good booty & BBQ! 
On the way to the restroom, you know you need to open the valve on the racking arm but you wonder if you need to dump the trub as long as you are there.

When you buy Bud Lite from the store for an out of town guest and feel the need to explain to the cashier that it's really not for you.

When you go to the local home improvement store and know more about tubing, copper piping and inner diameter is versus outer diameters then the guy with the apron!

IPA is my spirit animal
Done that!
I've done that,man! It's kinda funny when you think about it. Kinda reminds me of Bill Cosby's bit about the kid at the candy counter.

When did you score all of the pieces needed for an 20 foot immersion chiller at the home improvement store for 28$ and feel like you stole it from them!

When your beer purchases are influenced by how easy it is to remove the labels from the bottles.

When the brew cave is open and all the neighbors come over for free beer.
I've been offered cash for a 12'er so many times. Unfortunately that's a no no. Not goin there ever.

I've never sold beer, but the friends who get offered the most beer are the ones who have asked how much it costs to make a batch, and then at some point handed me $20-$40 to help fund the hobby that they enjoy so much.

I just traded some homebrew and mead for some really nice sheepshead!

When you look at $12 bombers in the bottle shop and use it as justification for spending a couple grand a year on your "cheap hobby".

That
Granted, the initial investment is a chunk of change, but you can make the cost per brew cheaper. My question is how do you "do it right". I can not seem to get them under $50.
My cheapest so far was the Caramel Amber I got from the recipe database here. $18. As long as I don't figure my wages, I can beat anything at the liquor store.
