41. No. Nothing they sell is really inexpensive, it is only cheap and that means you have
to buy it over and over and over. We pay more for quality and buy much less.

Food, cleaning, and personal items come almost entirely from Trader Joe's, clothes (when we can buy them) frequent journeys to Ross looking for the higher quality articles that occasionally get through (we buy something about 20% of the time, great deals on bras, BTW). A few odds & ends that we buy occasionally, like batteries, we ask a friend to pick up for us when they go to Costco.

The poorer you are, the more time you spend shopping.

No, we do not make even a reasonable amount of money, we are working poor.
