Unemployment = budget. At least more so than before. Gone are the days of weekly manicures and caviar on toast points. OK, OK - there was never caviar nor will there ever be caviar...I mean a special spoon for fish eggs? I also would rather eat sand but I digress. As one who is normally cost conscious (although I do love a good foot rub), I am much more aware of a dollar here, two dollars there these days with change only leaving my bank account. Today I went to shop for toilet paper and was overwhelmed with the options. The ultra-plush name brand might as well be cashmere as each roll is twice the price. Down the aisle I went in search of a rougher deal. I settled for the Duane Reade brand, although I opted for "extra soft", on sale with my club card. Not only did I save $6.99, but I also got a laugh from their clever marketing tag-line. Let's see if you can find it in the picture. All in all, a win-win. Aren't you glad I got to the the bottom of it?
