Why can’t you just use your credit card?



Cash can be seen and touched and kids get that, usually at an early age,

Many times it is not worth it for a single person to shop a lot of bulk.

I also am not able to get all things at Costco. That is why I use the normal grocery store inbetween.

I do buy all my meats at Costco though. I have found over the years that they carry the best meats and at good prices.

I suppose we could buy diapers, wipes, toilet paper, paper towels, feminine products, pasta, olive oil, goldfish,cheerios, fruit, and potentially cheese at a warehouse store. And maybe some of the stuff DH likes for his snacks. But, I'm fairly sure the savings wouldn't work out to be worth the membership for us. Plus, the only warehouse store we have in town is Sam's Club and I refuse to shop in a Walmart-owned store.

I have thought about buying some things like pasta in bulk from the local co-op, but it wouldn't be a real savings over the grocery store prices.

I don't buy just "packaged" stuff there which I think is an assumption.

Why in the world would anyone choose not to get childsupport?

If it saves money for you, that's great. It would not save money for me.

I've heard of it. Sometimes the NCP (non custodial parent) is a real asswipe. And are only in the lives of the other parent and the child because they pay child support. And don't like paying it. And the CP (custodial parent) thinks that if they'd just drop the child support, that the NCP would fade away never to enter their lives again and all would be happy again.

And sometimes that's what would actually happen.

I think the reason that it's worth it for us to by fem prod and tp, is simply the size of our family.
