When my mom goes grocery shopping she enjoys to buy the least expensive things.
She even brings her coupons with her to get currency off.
She will save at least fifty dollars every time she goes to the store. My dad & I call her the bargain shopper, but her currency saving ways have rubbed off both of us. However there are some things that my mom 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 spend money for.” My mom has done this several times where she’ll buy cheap food & it’ll not taste wonderful or the ingredients are twice as bad for you as the normal brand. The other afternoon my mom went to the store & I helped her unload her car. She bought cheap toilet paper that I’m sure has congested 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 particularly cheap my mom thinks it’s a smart idea to buy it. However it isn’t a wonderful idea because the toilet paper is particularly thick. I don’t feel our septic tank can cut it down that fast or particularly easily. My dad & I have told my mom that just because something is cheap, it doesn’t mean that it’s the greatest purchase, it may be doing more harm than really good.
