yee haw, i just got me a new pair of shoes; $23 at walmart.
Biked 2 miles to walmart, day after snowstorm hit the east coast. Used gift card my landlord gave me, and just in time, with my two pair of shoes really on their last lap. I caulked the sole of one pair a week ago, when I saw the bottom flap up, though the snow melted the caulk later. the other pair had a rip get wider in them, exposing my socks. And next week to dentist for a chipped tooth, so at least I only have to be ashamed of the scotch tape and glue holding my glasses together.
My bike is my only transportation; not as though anybody in my life to drive me to walmart today----though it was kinda fun bicycling on yesterday's snow; packed snow is easy to bicycle on.
It would be nice to have money to spend on whatever other stuff, and I do realize I could be worse off, and am also in my present predicament cause I wasted money in the past.
(and, I am guilty of splurging on $1.17 a can on newman's own catfood for my elderly cat, and spent some money on bottled water for him too, cause it'll really be depressing when he's gone.)

I understand on the $$. Ive been w/o job since mid June and its really beginning to hurt. We were good wth savings for a bit but its gone, ouch!!! Yard sales & thrift stores & $$ stores have become my best friend......
I was finally able to get dtr on medicaid as she began havin problems & needed doc. Sooooo embarrasing to have to pull that card out!! But thank God we were able to get it!
You have absolutely nothing to be ashamed about!! Feel free to chat anytime!!z
Personally, I am on the verge of losing my home and everything I have worked for, so I know it can be very difficult to find the bright side of a situation, but you need to find it somewhere, even in the simplest things.
Stay positive, and good luck for 2013.
I get most of my clothes from my Mom or my sister.(The one not mad at me). Stuff they have gotten tired of wearing. I went to a church donation closet once. It is tough to be without money, I wish I could go to some fancy store and buy brand new clothes. But, I can't, so I live within my means or do without what I can't get.
Walmarts is my favorite store. Or, the Dollar Store. I am glad you got a new pair of shoes for Christmas. Sounds like they were right on time.
Riding a bike sounds healthy. You must be in good shape.
