What economy?
Things are booming. Uh huh. That is why people are getting evicted and homeless and are maxing cards and pay laters for Christmas shopping when they still haven't paid off last years.
I had a dentist appt so had to tough it out and leave farm to head into town. Well, if I HAVE to go to town, might as well catch up shopping.
Stopped at Goodwill. First time in over two years. Why did I bother?
Prices on clothes are half of new prices in box stores. They are now peddling lots of new items. Bad enough to ask double the price the dollar store asked, but I should shop like a regular store too. Not!Went to Dollar Tree. Gee, guess they finally got the Christmas inventory.
Couldn't find what I wanted so total was small. Some things are a good deal. Others?
Wow... 1.25 for glittered styrofoam or paper.
Went to Wally world. Inflation is down? Someone should tell them. Friend likes Miracle Whip. Idea for gifting. Oh now I see why he won't spend the cash. $5.38 for oil and flavoring. And same price for mayo with eggs and cream. Pass!
I checked clearance prices on clothes. Yep..that is not going home either. And since when do they charge 25-50 for a garment?I spent 158 and part was for gifting. Or pantry stocks. I have no idea how a family can afford to eat. Of course fast food workers in Cali got a raise to $20 an hour.

I wish I could sign off on a bill of lading as that semi drives through my yard. Get my share for doing nothing.
Is there an on-line garage sale -- buy-sell-trade -- for your area?
As long as idiots keep paying, companies will keep gouging. I look, check price and say...know what..shove it! I don't need it. If more did that, prices would come down. That and cut the crap of tax rebates to companies that toss stuff in the trash.
Holiday shopping is up. Yep..on credit cards carrying the balance from last years gifts.
