They need a hospital and I don't need a lot of the cr*p I buy.
Seriously.
I could help build a hospital with the unecessary cr*p I buy at Wal-M*rt every week, and I hope, so can you.
Here's how I'm doing it: I do have to go downtown today - but I don't need that Dunk*n Don*ts Medium Strawbery Coolata with whipped cream at $3.59 while I'm driving to Wal-M*rt. Nor do I need that cute little T-shirt at Wal-M*rt for $5.00. Yeah, even if it is on sale. One package of Cashew Pecan Sand*es is more than enough. I don't need another one at $3.29. I especially do not need that Quilting magazine for $5.95 when I have at least twenty quilting magazines stacked on the coffee table. And my kids could probably do with out two packs of mystery flavor sugar-free gum this week at $1.28 times two. Hmmm. I think I just saved some serious money for Haiti doin my usual weekly shopping routine at Wal-M*rt.
$3.59 + $5.00 + $3.29 + $5. 95 + $1.08 + $1.08 = $19.99. Wow. I just redirected Twenty dollars of my money that would have gone to a mega corporation, and I am building a hospital instead. Yeah. I'd much rather have my $20 go to the hospital.
Never mind Wal-M*rt's ad campaign "Save money - Live better". Save money and help others LIVE.
