Shopping--What did you buy?

The cheap paper towels are also thinner. I still have one roll left at the barn and one sheet isn’t worth a pinch of salt to wipe the counter area where I mix the feed with water.😡

Another slap in the wallet is the candy bars kids have to sell for school. I paid two dollars for a 1.3 ounce chocolate bar one of my chiropractor’s staff was selling for her daughter. 1.3 ounces isn’t much bigger than one Hershey’s Kisses used to be💸💸. Annnnd, when I read the fine print on the wrapper, it said $2.50 in Alaska & Hawaii 😳😳

Like a lot of folks, I'll contribute money to those causes but will not buy the products...contests be damned.

Lol. That is what I do. But I offered money instead last time and the kid brought out a chart where I could just give $50? $100?.... I said put the chart away and gave him 5 or $10. I know the kids don't get much of the product money. Kind of sad.

I usually kick the Girl Scouts $20 and the Boy Scouts a little more (because the Girl Scouts rake in the money with those cookies.) I've yet to get anything but gratitude in return. No one has had the audacity to try to up-sell me like that.
 
I bought a new pair of sneakers with a wide toe box. I think they look like clown shoes, and my husband laughed at me and said they do not. :rolleyes: I understand that a lot of runners wear these type of shoes. I am not a runner! My feet hurt and I need my toes to spread out. They are comfortable but I think they are rather ugly.

Remember when Seniors wore what were called 'sensible'. They were not considered stylish but they were extremely well made with the thought of older feet in mind or at least with what they understood. I relied on arch supports but when my bones went back in place I can wear shoes without. But running ain't gonna happen.

Have you looked at Vivaia?
I had a blank moment and bought several pairs of Sketchers. Great bargains! All but one pair were new when a friend took them. Please take your time and go shopping. There are comfortable shoes and sneakers out there for wider feet.
