I had no life, at least in part due to my being an unapologetic cheapskate. Then they opened a Discount Life Mart off of the freeway just a few miles down. This was exactly the

'The Lucy Show' complete DVD collection, one gross of frozen cream puffs, and a drum of industrial degreaser. My little voice knew I was saving a ton for Christmas at Costco.
