There is a large group of people out there that buy food, materials to repairs their houses, gas and what they can find at the used stores.

Raising hand. I'm the president of that group. If a million dollars were to fall from the sky, I'd still be frugal. People have too much stuff.

Friday, someone was visiting just as I'd gotten back from the grocery store and started griping about me buying out the store. It did no good to explain I only go once a month or six weeks - "Oh, but what if you run out of something or forget to buy it?" Mr. b snapped back (good on him) that we do without until the next month. Apparently, the visitor enjoys the 1 hour and 40 mile round trip just for a milk run.

I am one of those too.

It is not that it is a long drive it is that I am busy.

So we try to go once a month. Same day that the used store is having it's half off sale. :)

And lists make forgetting something a thing of the past.
