Sorry I tried but I’m not making an account to read an article

Burned from the neck until dead

I agree except for condiments. They’re cheap enough already compared to how long they last that I think it’s worth springing for the good stuff. Duke’s Mayo, Grey Poupon mustard, Cholula hot sauce, Ken’s Steakhouse salad dressings, etc. If a bottle lasts you six months, what difference does a few dollars make?

For staples like flour, bread, canned products, OTC meds, who cares. I’ll go as cheap as possible.

I loved the Zones of Thought books. I wish Vernor Vinge would write more.
