By looking at them. What did I win.
When gas prices started going through the roof I noticed more Cadillac Escapades, Chevy Toohighs and Hummer H2owes in my favorite discount gas station.
When we first set foot in Aldi my oldest daughter hid her head in her hoodie. Now you can see quite a few upscale SUV's with women dressed to match ..right along side the usual traffic. We appear to be the oddballs in the bunch. We're not fixed income seniors ..nor lower income ..nor upscale over-extended's. We're cherry pickers buying stuff that only differs in price.
I was going to say the same. oilBabe and I were in Aldi Tuesday night. Our Toyota was the lowend vehicle in the place. There were two Cadillacs and an Infinity in the parking lot as well.
We LIKE Aldi. The stuff is good and the produce is typically better than Wal*Mart. So we shop there for certain items.
One of the ways the rich STAY rich is by not overpaying.
I'd rather BE rich than LOOK rich. Most folks merely LOOK rich.
