(When asked for something by the kids) Maybe you'll get it for xmas (hint: no you won't we still won't be able to afford it)

These are just as good as Nikes...

I got this outfit at the Goodwill.

Tag, you're going to have to get a paper route and mow lawns to help us make ends meet.

You can park overnight in the Walmart parking lot and nobody will make you move

That shelter has an area where families can sleep together (or that shelter allows pets)

Look at this great chair I just found on the curb on South St!

"That shelter has an area where families can sleep together (or that shelter allows pets)" ... when her help asked for a raise to make ends meet ...

I'm also not sure about the Salvation Army one ... there are stories about threadbare millionaires who go to soup kitchens because they're too cheap to pay for a meal ... wouldn't surprise me if she pulled that one just for kicks ...

Gee, I need to dust.

I'm mopping the floor/washing windows/cleaning the toilet/washing the car.

I'll pull weeds tomorrow.

Boy, this line is long (while waiting to check-out).

Bargain.
Budget.
Over-time.

"Kids, please don't get your clothes so dirty, we're going through too much laundry soap."

If I don't take these, how much will it cost then?

Two question I had to ask that always drew glares from the people in line.

There is no shame being poor, however morons will make you feel shame.
