I left a comment on the site asking if she put a car up on blocks in the front yard and put flowers in it would that be a thrifty lawn ornament? Dressed up junk is still junk.
You’re right. Nothing she did follows the Yankee Values of “Use it up, wear it out, Make it do, or do without.”
Instead she just exemplifies the Overconsumption Ode:
“Justify anything under the sun, just go to Wal-Mart and buy a new one.”
Made in China, of course.
