I'd argue and say the "thrifty" by the grocery store brand. It's the willingness to pinch pennies that drives many to store-brands. I'd go out on a limb and say at least some of the "poor" buy Coke.creeky wrote:The "poor" buy the "supermarket brank" imitation coke .....buffettbride wrote:Wow!

I just had a lady b*tching the other day that she wasn't allowed to have a dog in her Public Housing apartment.

Dont know about there, but here we have "supergrade" petrol - more expensive than the normal petrol - so only the rich probably buy that - or the people with no brain that think it is better for their cargreen1 wrote:Gasoline.tikitatas wrote:I'm trying to think of other things besides Coke.

First, the superior grade fuel is better for your car, and some cars require it, as that car cost more...so I don't drive one of those.creeky wrote:Dont know about there, but here we have "supergrade" petrol - more expensive than the normal petrol - so only the rich probably buy that - or the people with no brain that think it is better for their car
when was the last time anyone bought twist ties? don't they come with the trash bags?tikitatas wrote:twist ties
I guess I'm getting off subject.
Yes, everyone should realize that we're all worth the same and it would be great if there was some way to have those that work the hardest, for the benefit of the most, earn the most pay.
I'm still trying to figure out how those people on Star Trek live without money??? They don't really explain it, they just say it is so.
