The turkey that was to be for Thanksgiving dinner was gone bad. So was the milk (pull date of 11/28/2016).

Spent a lot of time/money on this crap food. Angry?

Just got back from Safeway, where after a lot of B.S., I received a refund.

In this era of deregulation expect to see more of this sort of thing!

Boycott you say? Bet your ass on that one in this household!

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!

It's easier when you're older because we pretty much have most of what we need. I can't spend much because the stuff I need is way to expensive for now.

I'm happy with just a few small things.

Every dollar spent shopping is paying for the energy and materials used to produce the goods or services. It is what supports the environmentally damaging energy, mining, lumbering, and farming businesses.

People like me face losing everything because of disease and 50 K would make all the difference in the world but this effort is making millions and it won't change drumpth from being president
