Monday Madness
How much do you think is the most you would pay for... 1. ...a loaf of bread? A loaf of bread? Whatever Food Depot charges--99 cents, I guess. I don't get loaves of bread, I get the Italian sweet rolls at Kroger which are $2.49 for eight. Lunch is so lousy I want something that tastes good. 2. ...a gallon of gas? Whatever it takes. I have a 56 mile round trip commute to work and if I don't go to work, I can't buy gas. 3. ...a pair of jeans? 0. I don't buy jeans; they never fit me properly. If I'm lucky I'll get pants at Sam's or BJ's for under $20. 4. ...a computer? About $600. Unless I win the lottery. Then I get the one with all the bells and whistles and pay $2000. 5. ...a camera? Huh! I paid $800 for my Mavica. Take that as a sign. 6. ...a pair of shoes? Whatever a pair of Hush Puppies cost these days. Ugh. I hate buying shoes. No matter what I buy they are never wide enough and always chafe my feet. I go down to the Reebok outlet and buy boys' shoes. 7. ...a television? Probably about $2000, but less is preferable. 8. ...a recliner chair? $300, which is what we paid. :-) 9. ...a month of 'lightening speed' internet service? Oh, I dunno. We're paying $51 now. Probably more if we absolutely had to. I'd cancel the satellite service before I cancelled the internet service. 10. ...a cell phone? I didn't intend to spend more than $50, but I paid more (but it was buy one get one free, so I really only paid $40 a phone). |
