I admit I used to be one of them, but goodness. I can find the same exact stuff at resale shops for at least half price. I don't by anything full price anymore

Where do you get free water?

We have a well but we spent thousands of dollars for a water treatment system and have a well/septic that needs maintenance.

Just wanted to add, I'm not picking on KH, just wish I had free water


My answer is HOMES.

Eating out and manicures. If you can afford it, then great. But I knew a woman who was literally losing her home and still ate out and got her regular manicures.
