Thin Gains
by Michael C.
Keith
Sara always purchased the least
expensive items she could find at the supermarket.
This impressed her husband, who admired her
frugality and was very pleased by the savings
that resulted from her efforts.
“Good going, honey! It’s
so smart to buy generic products rather than name
brands. They’re always a lot more expensive.”
His satisfaction with his wife’s
thriftiness ended abruptly one day while he was
in the bathroom.
“Sara!” he bellowed,
astride the porcelain throne, “This half-ply
toilet paper just doesn’t cut it!”
