I overheard a wonderful conversation in the Dollar Store the other day. Two plus-sized women were talking about the safest diet pills that work. I couldn’t help myself, had to get a closer look. It turns out they were browsing the selection of energy booster shots. I looked in their shared cart. Eeeek!

At least a  dozen packages of microwaveable link sausage (I don’t get why they buy that at the Dollar Store when the same size name brand package is 80 cents at Stop and Shop), two flats of big plastic Arizona Iced Tea bottles (I love that stuff, but when I checked the info one time there was like 800 calories in half the bottle – youch!) and a bunch of mini-tubes of bubblegum flavor toothpaste.
