Figure of speech. Just a handful would make a difference.

Like we don't have enough as it is......


There's a problem with package theft in the lobby of my building, even with frosted glass on the lobby doors so they can't be seen from the street.

I never heard "cyber hygiene" before....interesting phrase.

Like we don't have enough to worry about, like you said.

Inflation shrinking your household budget? Here are 21 things you should never buy at the grocery store if you are trying to save money

Some of the commenters make good points. But some of these suggestions are worth considering--like cheaper cards at places like the Dollar Tree.

The money I spend on gas driving to Target to save money on something will just cancel out the savings.

The other stuff like toothpaste is often on sale. Frozen seafood is tasteless, I go the seafood counter.

Gaslighting: What It Is and How to Stop It

I think this can come more likely as we get older, since we might have problems with hearing and memory. Sometimes my husband (who also is old) tells me U said something when I know I didn't, since it goes against my principles, tastes, habits, etc.

Over the last month in my neighborhood, Hondas mainly have had their air bags removed after the driver-side windows were smashed open. Apparently the air bags on those cars are easily removed...
