Longos food prices

I agree...although some products are far superior to their cheaper competitors.

People that don't shower daily
People that continue to use phone whilst driving
People that buy fake designer stuff (bags, clothes, shoes)...why bother if you can't afford the real McCoy?
People that are not "seniors" i.e. age 65, playing the senior card just to get stuff e.g. cheaper coffee at MacDonalds
People using disability sticker just to park in that spot

Speaking of clothes, have to buy new clothes this weekend because nothing fits me anymore (to big) and ripped from so many usages. Have to go shopping this weekend. UGH

I wish for both of your problems LOL I love buying clothes. But not too pleased by how they are fitting me lately. Mind you if I lost 10lbs I would have all kinds of options already in my closet.

Good for your ma'am. Healthy body, healthy mind. I love clothes shopping, I won't be seen dead in jeans though or running shoes when am not running.

You deserve that retail therapy!!!

Thanks! But, I have to give the credit actually to my DH. Before we got married I was really bad in the health department! Eating all the wrong things, major stomach and health issues, and, needed to lose weight due to health reasons. He got me on track to start eating right and supported me through it all. Without him supporting me I would not be so successful. So I do plan on doing some retail shopping therapy! of course in my budget means lol.

I bought a purse on eBay, paid duties through the global shipping program and the seller didn't print the label through paypal so now I'm probably going to get charged duties on top of what I already paid for them. GRRR

Sounds like a great guy, lucky you.

Some of us men are good for that. I can never live with someone that just wants to stuff their face / are not very active / sit around and watch shows / and let themselves go. There is a lot of false advertisement out there...once people get married, they see it as free for all with food. Same way I could never live with a smoker, pet owner or heavy drinker

It simple...next time tell all your sellers to put GIFT on the pkg. Works like a charm for me all the time, and am yet to be charged duty

Even if its marked "Gift" you're still subjected to duties over 60.00. Every single thing dh's family has sent my kids over 60.00 I've been charged duties for.
PayPal surprisingly refunded the duties I paid on the auction so at least I'll only get charged once(and probably less than eBay charged me).

we'd be incredibly incompatible then...

Again....if you are buying from a private seller vice a big box store, the price can be dropped a bit. I get sent things monthly from across the pond from family, so I know how it works. I also use to send stuff here before I moved here. I also send stuff to family in the US
