Reply #16: Because we're poor

[catmandu57]

and there's many times we have more month than money left, because ther isn't a viable alternative near here. Kansas City is an hour down the dangerous interstate where people will run you over if you're not doing eighty, and the cost of the gas to go there is prohibitive.

We shop for our groceries at a small local owned store and when possible use who ever has a store left open in town. there is a small flower shop where i buy flowers for my wife when I can, and they will extend credit to us also, so we use them when we can.

there is a Target opening this spring next to the wally world supercenter, when it's open i won't darken the doors of mal-wart again if I can help it.

My grandfather who survived the great depression always said "Poor people have poor ways" we're poor so we go where we can make the money last.
