I think I can trace my frugality back to my Pennsylvania Dutch roots. Sharing your genetic make-up with a people that can take milk, butter, flour and maybe a little sugar, toss it in a pie crust and make a most excellent delicacy (slop pie or slop tart) is certain to make sure you do the best with the resources you are given. I love a bargain. I feed off of the thrill of heading out to a store and saying to myself, “I am going to only spend $20 and get x, y and z”. Forget heroin and crack, pump me full of some deals and I’m good to go.
Today I set out to Big Lots with the mission of drinks and dog treats. Twenty bucks and about a half hour later this is what I came back with (water and knives excluded):
quite a haul you have there!!!
