Another day, another white trash experience

Why would anyone think my joking about my being white trash isn't funny? Hello, have you heard of Jeff Foxworthy? He has this whole thing about "Rednecks" in which he admits to making fun of and yet, being one. Alright take notes if you don't get it, I was raised in a snooty town in CT, I finished High School, College and Graduate School. I got married and THEN had kids. I like wine, goat cheese, lobster, clothes from Talbots, even...reading. I also like pizza, saving money, cheese puffs, bacon, country music, the dollar store. See? it is the juxtaposing of my tastes, and the fact that I know the word juxtapose, that enables me to use self deprecating humor, (to say nothing of pentasyllabic words. )

I did have another WT experience today. Price Rite in Woonsocket Rhode Island. MY GOD, the prices are so low you would swear there are children labor laws that must be bent or their really are Keebler elves. It is also a bare bones shopping experience where most aisles don't have shelves as much as open boxes, the cashiers WILL NOT bag your food, or even let you bag it as they ring it, and forget about finding hoity toity items like bean sprouts, asian spray on dressing, or whole wheat flour. I went there with Nat after the Family Dollar store, conveniently located in the same plaza. We brought our reusable bags, (kinda hoity toity apparently), but she did have a dirty face and was delirious with sleep deprivation. In general, we fit right in. We purchased a cart full of food, including meat, dairy, frozen, the whole shebang for 105 and change. Seriously.
