mysticalchick79 My kids' wardrobes consist of mostly Walmart clothing... with 4 kiddos to clothe, it gets quite pricey - even at walmart! Most every other brand is bought from clearance or off season racks.

ElusiveButterfly @ElusiveButterfly (45940) • United States 4 Jan 07

We have two discount food stores in our town. They sell foods that are nearing their expiration date or have a dent in the can, the package is blemished. I shop in both stores at least once every two weeks. I have saved so much...

mysticalchick79 As a family of 6 on a single income, we truly appreciate what Aldi has to offer. I've only found a few items i do not like at Aldi. I've always liked how they have their basic grocery stock but have those special buys that add a little change to the regular...

Do you hug a friend when greeting them?

ElusiveButterfly @ElusiveButterfly (45940) • United States 4 Jan 07

When I meet a friend out in public, I always give them a hug. The hugs I receive back vary. There is the side hug, where you touch shoulder to shoulder. There is the hug where you wrap both arms around each other and squeeze...

mysticalchick79 By nature, i'm not a hugger. I prefer my 3 feet of personal space, be it a stranger or someone i've known my whole life. However, if i feel someone else needs a hug, i will give one or reciprocate...but its not a gut reaction to do so.

Generics vs. namebrands

Ashida @Ashida (1370) • United States 26 Dec 06

What are some things that you won't buy the generic version of? For us it's macaroni and cheese. Every knockoff we've tried tastes like noodles mixed with orange sand.

mysticalchick79 Cheetos, Philidelphia cream cheese, Hellman's mayo, and Snuggle fabric softener are all musts. Practically everything else can be generic and be fine.

mysticalchick79 Perhaps the reason your friend doesn't have the money for food is because she's out buying Tommy stuff for her daughter instead of grocersy! Rediculous! My children have no concept of namebrands. Clothes don't matter to them - as long as its clean and fit...

mysticalchick79 I don't drink it regularly, but enjoy it when i do. I prefer the instant cappuchino offered at gas stations ( or the powdered at home). I get the caffeine kick without the stomach upset that regular coffee causes.
