Guestmeadandale, If I’m snooty, I don’t know it. Fancy that. lol.
Funny, I was going to post that sometimes I would like to have my groceries delivered by the store. I think most of the larger chains offer the service. If I can afford it, why not? Although I’m sure it wouldn’t be a regular occurence.
Think what you like about me.

When you use the self-check you bag your own and I even bring my own so I do not have a bunch of plastic bags. I’m with Dave on this and I like the Fort Knox wallet, Marion. It works for me. A lot of spending is discretionary and that leaves me more to do something I want to with the money I save.
Aecetia, I accept the bags at the store because I use them as trash bags for my car. Don’t get the idea that I don’t like to save money.
As far as the Fort Knox wallet, it has its place. Well, actually…
P.S. Dave, charities?! You mean you’re actually a caring, giving person? Who knew!
It’s not for the tax deduction, is it?..

ParticipantMarion, I hate to disappoint you but my charitable contributions in any given year are probably greater than yours over a given decade… or two. Does that make me a “caring, giving person”? I don’t know and don’t care. I do it because I enjoy it. It’s a purely selfish act on my part. Like most everything else in my life, if I don’t enjoy it, I don’t bother with it.
The particular charity for which I often end up at the Food4Less in Chula Vista – just to complete the picture – is the Eudist Home for Girls in Tijuana, which provides shelter, support and education for abused and homeless girls. Although I don’t like the idea that these girls are being inculcated into the Catholic tradition, the trade-off (abuse and homelessness) is a reasonable one. That the sisters don’t see the irony in their beloved, caring “God” not providing for these kids in the first place is, well, rich. But that’s another issue.

Guestdave…, well, DUH!!!,of course your contributions have been more. You’re on the board of a bank (or something like that). Prior to May 2007, I was a starving student for 3 years. So, what is there to brag about?
Actually, every year I bought a qualifying Cristopher Radko Christmas ornament, a portion of the proceeds from the sale went to charity.
Does that count?
