Big Grey Man, I would be hard put to find much here that is useful for under $1. Most containers don't come that small, anymore.

Most of us have been taught since childhood to be good consumers. Advertising is incredibly persuasive, and much of it is subliminal.

We've been convinced that we need two incomes to support the overpriced house and the two expensive cars and all the toys for the kids. That takes time and effort, so there's no time or energy for cooking, don't you know.

Our economy has tanked and all our foolish government can come up with is "Spend more money, folks, and that will fix the problem".
