I deserve a raise
I just got home from an exhausting long grocery run at Walmart. I also got socks for ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
selenite, and some tops for myself, including a v-neck top to wear underneath that sweater I'm working on. Whew. Long list, long lines.
In front of me was a couple with a baby in a stroller with a cartload of stuff - and separated out from all their other stuff were cans and cans of formula, which apparently she was paying for separately with WIC or whatever it is. After she'd left, I asked the cashier, curious, about how much did that stuff cost and how long did it last? She didn't know the latter, but could tell me that the woman had bought 31 cans and it cost $130. I'm guessing that's a month's supply.
My 4th baby is 8 months old, and I have never bought formula. Supplied them all myself. So presumably I've been saving us that much each month.
Yeah, I deserve a raise!
