I buy what I want.

I’m the one that will squirrel away a few dollars. I bought a guitar with a change jar one year. lol

Make sure there’s not a $11.59 package! Just kidding, I typically watch prices but not that close. Speaking of change jars. I’ve bought a couple Leupold scopes with change!

Spend all I want and so does she we earned the right

I'm the $11.63 chicken buyer. I'm also the one that will pick up an item I want to buy, tote it around the store for an hour, then go put it back, and leave.....having talked myself out of buying it.

Real job money pays the bills.
Fun job money I put in an envelope until I get the amount for what I want.
I’m not an impulse shopper, I’ll research something for months and talk myself out of it most of the time.
Things I really WANT I’ll buy. Things I “think” I want is 50/50 on whether I actually get it or not.

I thought that was normal. lol

Most spending comes down to do I need it or do I want it.

$11 63 chicken exceptwith other stuff like trapping guns and ammo (mostly traps)

I'm just like this too^^^^.....except I have a seperate bank account for my trapping business....it covers all my fuel and supply needs....and all those extra "toys" such a new rifle, thermal scope and hunting lease payment. Also, all the hunting trips are funded from that account.

I never touch the home account.

I ain't paying $11.63 for any chicken that I can imagine.

The $11.70 chicken is usually going to be a better deal than the $11.63, because the weight of the bone is likely the same, but the heavier package likely has more meat. I buy the heavier packages of meat and leave the lighter ones.

Check out the smallest package of chicken compared to the largest and you will find it has less flesh and approximately the same amount of bone. The smaller chicken was in less prime physical condition.

I kill the chicken when it stops laying and it's costing me.
Door #3

Grew up well below middle income. Never knew it or thought about it until highschool. Was fortunate to be a good enough baseball and football player to not be made fun of for the off brand clothes and shoes.

Worked my way through college, got a great job and married my highschool sweetheart. Saved like I was still well below middle class. Put 2 out of my 3 boys through college so far, bought our dream property and built our dream house.

I still look at and spend every dollar like there aren’t many more to be had. I often wish I could let go and be a little more free in how I look at $$$, but I also know it’s served me and my family well.

Guess I’m the guy who puts down $11.63 for the $11.63 chicken and am x2 checking the receipt on the way out.

Same here.

Here too......jk

did that 11.70 chicken start as a cast of thighs for 23.40 and it is in the bargain meat cooler because it didn't sell and the date on the package is today ?

cause I am a sucker for half price meat

which explains 4 freezers

My shopping is more like, "You got 5 or 6 cans of that potted meat you can spare?"

I am a sucker for discounted meat too.
