Shopping yesterday, 9 bucks for deodorant, fuck it I'll go natural. Been looking for a new riding mower. The cheapest one at a big box store was 500 more than it was last Spring, exact same model. I pretty much buy the same things every month for groceries as I'm on a fixed income. Its gone up 50 a month over the last year. Electric gone up 15%.

Fuck these repuke thieves. Fuck them all.

FF!!!
