I lived on the streets and ate shit out of dumpsters or .99¢ hamburgers from Carls Jr or Jack in The Box and used .99¢ store cosmetics when and if I could afford them.
When I was a kid growing up in the 60's & 70s' my parents were tightwad squeaky penny pinching misers and made me wear clothes I hated {High water make believe denim jeans} and the food was all no frills food that cost less than half what real food costs and tasted like shit. Plus they did not get a color tv until 1970 when everyone else in the neighborhood had one for years already, some with remote control. Me, I had to watch a gay old 13 channel 19" Zenith. It was an embarrassment then and it still pisses me off now.
Shit, my toes are crunched, ugly & curled because my feet grew faster than my parents would buy shoes for me because they did not wear out before I grew out of them.

So, now it is 2007 and I buy myself new name brand expensive steel toed shoes and toss the old ones before they are trashed. I only wear Levi jeans and Smart ass T-Shirts that say things like "Protect your nuts" or something silly like that.
My food is all top shelf name brand stuff and I have a 42" Panasonic plasma tv with a nice new RCA home theater system, Directv's 250+ channel package, AT&T unlisted phone number with unlimited everything including DSL, A Nextel is502 hybrid phone and vintage Honda motorcycles built into expensive money pits with only the best parts that money can buy to make them faster and cooler than anyones in town.
I have credit cards and use them to buy stuff I do not need because I am an idiot but, I am one happy idiot and the world can bite my shiny metal ass.
It is top shelf name brand shit for me or forget about it.
fasterspider Reviewed by fasterspider on . Generic food/drink or the main brand companies (ex: Lays, Pepsi, etc.) Do you prefer cost over quality or do you think that generic food is just as good in some cases? personally i go with cost, my dad taught me to be a cheap ass Rating: 5
