I always heard, “Watch put after the little money and the big money takes care of itself”.
An interesting observation I have made of EBT shoppers. they refuse to buy marked down meat or scratch and dent products. Short dated meat (not expired) regularly gets marked down 50%. They walk right past and buy the same thing for 2 times the price. No problem for me, more for me to buy.
BTW, I have never seen a deer, duck, rabbit,cow, etc with a “use by” date on it.
I’ve always heard there were 2 ways to live like you’re wealthy. One is to have a lot of money. The other is to have extremely low expenses.
Same here. On some stuff their prices just can’t be beat. I came out of the 99c store one day and there were 4 older people standing by my new Jag. They said....we just wondered who was driving this beautiful car at the dollar store. I said...yeah I shop here, that’s why I can afford it. They laughed.
...” maybe that’s why I do”.....
Exactly.....those who are thrifty earn their wealth. They know how to save on the money they’ve earned.
Interesting.
That’s “stackmeup.com”—and a clever idea for a site.
Sounds like you were brought up the same way I was.My Dad was a child of the Depression...he was the youngest of 8 kids brought up in the filthiest slums of Boston.He taught me,both by word and by deed,to always live below your means.For example...for his entire life,even when he had become comfortable and successful,he wore a Timex watch and drove Oldsmobiles when he could have afforded *much* better.
And I,too,live beneath my means.
I shop at dollar stores too.
Why should I pay $2.98 for hand sanitizer that I can pay .99 cents for? I try to only buy things that I would normally buy ... and, it’s fun!
