Yes, they never think about how items actually materialize onto shelves. Policymakers never do, either. I think all of them should run a bread route or something once in their lives. Filling up the truck can take your entire wage/profit for the day.
I don't know what the OP was crying about, "we even did grocery shopping at the dollar store!!!!!" I pick up grocery items at Dollar every weekend. Canned goods, pasta, juice, cereal etc. It's all the same, what does it matter where you buy it?
GOBUCKS---an "iggy" list? I did not know that.
Exactly right. Or even a paper route. I mean come on kids when I was like ten or eleven I knew what a bundle of papers cost me, how much I made per paper and what I got in tips. I had to carry deadbeat customers who "forgot to pay" for weeks at a time and I knew that came out of my profits. I was an independent contractor if injured on the job. Newspaper are notoriously cheap that way but don't tell the bleeding hearts.
(I also acquired a life time supply of black clip on bow ties every Christmas, not the best tip in the world for a kid btw).
Just back from the market here in P_town north with a half gallon of 2% store branded milk @ $1.65 and a half gallon of Simply Orange w/ Mango @ $3.23 which left me twelve cents out of a fiver. The local discount gas was selling regular at $3.03 per gallon and had a line. In days gone by I could have filled the car with that fiver ( ah yes, when gas at $.29 9/10 per gallon that would have been about 16 gallons of real leaded regular and my '66 Dart /6 got about 21 mpg around town ).
Note to lurking dummies, I did not make an extra trip to the grocery, I combined it with an appointment. As a wise man once said, a penny saved is a penny earned.
Did Bobo the Hobo get banned or is she just in self imposed exile too after getting her posts deleted the other day?
