Clark Howard glues pickles together to keep from buying cucumbers....
OK, that’s funny right there!
I ran into him at Costco some years ago. It was an off time, very few people in the store, and for some reason I was walking “in” the main “out” aisle. I look up, and there he is heading towards me.
I just point and say something like “I knew this place was a bargain, and you being here confirms it!”, to which he replied “But you’ve still got to check the prices!”
Just 100% quintessentially Clark!
I later met him at a convention. I was wearing an Audi hat, and we had a pretty good talk about German cars and value. I make it work by buying used and doing my own maintenance, which isn’t possible for most, and which he found interesting but not necessarily applicable to the masses. It was obvious that he is always looking around, learning about things that help out with his areas of expertise in any way he can.
