When my Dad goes grocery shopping she enjoys to buy the least high-priced things.
She even brings her coupons with her to get money off.
She will save at least fifty dollars every time she goes to the store. My dad as well as I call her the bargain shopper, however her money saving ways have rubbed off both of us. However there are some things that my Dad buys that I will tell her to not buy again. She bought cheap knock off oreo’s that tasted like plastic. The motto is true, “you get what you pay for.” My Dad has done this several times where she’ll buy cheap food as well as it’ll not taste nice or the ingredients are twice as awful for you as the normal brand. The other day my Dad went to the store as well as I helped her unload her car. She bought cheap toilet paper that I’m sure has plugged up our pipes. These past few months we’ve had to use the plunger for our toilets because randomly our toilets won’t flush. Because the toilet paper is very cheap my Dad thinks it’s a smart idea to buy it. However it isn’t a nice idea because the toilet paper is very thick. I don’t suppose our septic tank can break it down that fast or very easily. My dad as well as I have told my Dad that just because something is cheap, it doesn’t mean that it’s the greatest purchase, it may be doing more harm than absolutely good.
