Thrift: New way to eat eggs (avoid needless transport costs).

'That's what I thought, finances are tight: She's switched to no-name cat food...'

"Okay then, what wine do you have if we go up to the four-dollar range?"

"Do you have something cheap but with a really expensive label?"

"Do you have a dollar menu?"

"Do you have this in an $11.99?"

'Well, you're bankrupt, but look on the bright side -- it only cost you eight dollars per transaction!'

"... And how are you enjoying the cheapest bottle of wine on the menu?"

"Fuel poverty is not the same as being too mean to switch the heating on...."

Right now my brother Al is paying a psychiatrist a hundred bucks an hour to hear his troubles, while I'm drinking beer and telling you mine at happy hour prices. Obviously, Al IS the crazy one.
