I grew up with quite the opposite mindset of blind consumerism with parents born during the depression.. My mother once made me walk back to the corner store (about a mile away) to return a piece of chewed gum I'd bought after she'd sent me to buy 99 cents worth of groceries.. Yes kids..I had to hand over a piece of penny gum to the store clerk who was in cahoots with my mom over that kind of shit.. Believe me when I say I chewed the shit out of that gum on the way back..
That single piece of gum is probably why I don't have any teeth left to this day..
I'm still living with the same blind frugality to this day in the form of fking MILK DAMMIT! 

Just yesterday I bought some Fiskars yard clippers and the first thing my wife started to do the moment we get home was to start an internet search for yard clippers so I could return the clippers I bought ..I'll say it again..some people would spend a fortune on gas (and stand in line for three hours) to return an item to save a nickel..

At least you got to go a grocery store! Lol I grew up on a farm and we had nothing pretty much, but we grew our own food and meat. Till this day I cannot stand canned vegetables.
