Real pilots don't need no stinking flaps.  For fun, find some

Cessna/beech pilot, take him up in a cub or biplane, and throw it in a
serious slip and watch his face.

Paul is right, good practice for when the electrics go out.

I learned to fly in a Schwitzer 2-32 glider.  Spoilers are used to control
rate of decent and sometimes they are not enough. Slips are required at
times,  plus slips are just plain FUN. BTHW I would like to use slips more
often in a C150, but they are not approved with full flaps. Most of the time
I use full flaps, so no slips most of the time.

Do it anyway Monty at altitude so you can become familiar with how it
behaves. The 172 bucks a bit more with full flaps than the 182. Never 
tried it in a 150.
