happy holidays???

so i'm amazed at the prices of things.
1 manicure = $15
a mani/pedi = $40
1 venti drink from starbucks = $6

we're doing a needs drive at work
del-monte canned goods are on sale at Kroger for .49 cents a can
5lb bags of flour for $2
3lb bags of sugar for $2

I just spent $11 and got 12 rolls of toilet paper, 6 bars of Ivory Soap, 2 tubes of toothpaste, 1 bag of flour.

sigh....even I fail and fall into the trap of consumerism and forget that there are some things that are luxuries to others, like having toilet paper and soap. the lady infront of me at the grocery store swiped her card and couldn't buy the toilet paper she needed. talk about being humbled. needless to say, no starbucks or happy hour at sonic for me this month.
