i don't disagree with that but i spend $2 on lottery tickets only when it gets to some stupid value like this. i'm not going to win and it's fun to daydream
our state fair is also going on this week. for my own health i'm staying away from it because lord knows it's the one time i year i allow myself to go full fatass
i guess i could be fancy and shop at the Harris Teeter, but why would I want to spend more money for the same stuff? i also have a whole foods around the corner but they're also crazy expensive
also the walmart neighborhood market around me is actually not that bad. it's the cheapest besides aldi, which never has anything i need, and is only 10 minutes from me
