I unlike Aunt Jean didn't run home and change clothes. I just seperated out the items and made 2 transactions. It worked! I laughed inside as I thought of Aunt Jean running home and changing clothes to get this deal for herself.

I'm completely serious. She had a nice retirement and money in savings and her late husband's Social Security as well. But you could trace her need to stockpile from her immigrant family's hardscrabble life as new Americans...plus the notion that "you never know what tomorrow will bring" and to their way of thinking tomorrow might bring a huge shortage of cheese. Or at least, that's how it looks from here. My widowed grandmother used to drive across town to stand in the line for a cinderblock of government cheese. I’m completely serious.

I'm just saying... Not that I've ever stocked up, later to find out that there actually is a parishable date on soda or anything... I loved this story the first time too. I too would have no stash because I'm on the floor with you honey. ;-) well, not to be the bearer of bad news or anything, but that cherry 7 up will go bad on her.

I read it out loud to my husband and it took me a good 5 minutes to get to the end, what with all the pausing for the hysterical laughter and the trying not to wet the pants. He just gave me that look. You know, the mix between, "You are very strange and easily amused," and "I love how she finds joy in the simple things." I remember when you first posted this.

I am no 65 and I have a better understanding of their cabinet overloads. I stop in the store and don't have my shopping list and I begin to assume and pick up things I am sure I need. When I get home I am amazed that I didn't need them at all and "my stash" has begun. I think it could be in the genes.:) I used to look in my parents pantry and cabinets and they had stashes of canned food, detergent, tp, towels and coffee.

My favorite part was your description on confronting her. "She paused here to lightly pat her hair into place.." What a character, your Aunt Jean! This was a great post.
