Donating for the Holidays

Everyone feels great about donating food and gifts to a family for the holidays. The only problem is that that family needs help another 363 or 364 days in the year. Imagine if we cared enough to help people long enough for them to live on their own. The old teach them to fish proverb. But no, a turkey and a gift will do to appease the conscience.

Hairdryer Breaking

Ever since everything is made in China prices have gone down. I kind of long for the days when I could buy a hairdryer and it would last more than a few months. Sure they used to cost a little more but they would last longer. Stuff that breaks doesn't really save money. Then there's that little problem with throwing the stuff away.

Supermarket Prices

Have you noticed how much prices at the supermarket have gone up? Thank goodness I don't need eggs, cheese, milk, cereal, vegetables...At least I can chew on my sock. Oh wait, I have no socks.
