    Seriously though, I put together a few links for anyone who is having trouble with money. If you are poor, these organizations might be able to help:

    I do need a job in uni this year though I think. Or I'll just mooch of my fuckwit of a Dad for the one year I have left, which sounds much more fun

    If your Dad is such a fuckwit how come he can afford to support your worthless arse?

    I just wanna point out, the 'much more fun' and mooching things in here were meant to be sarcastic, which reading back over it it doesn't sound like that, so sorry

    EDIT: My dad is a bit of a fuckwit though

    Quirk: Don't mind Butler, he is having a bad day.

    Streaks on the china,
    never mattered before,
    who cares.

    When you dropped kicked your jacket
    As you came through the door,
    No one glared.

    But sometimes things get turned around
    And no one’s spared.

    All hands look out below T
    here’s a change in the status quo.
    Gonna need all the help that we can get.

    According to our new arrival
    Life is more than mere survival
    We just might live the good life yet.

    That's just it. I detest most dollar stores.

    But the official 99c Only stores are the biggety motherfuckin' bomb. They have SO MUCH WEIRD SHIT. Even real food. Not just off-brand Tortilla Bean Crisps made in Thailand or something, but honest to goodness groceries.

    Best part? If you see something there and you want to check it out? YOU CAN! IT'S A DOLLAR! HA HA HA!

    Several times I've loaded a full cart of weird shit there. The most I've ever spent was $48 in one go.

    I never go to dollar stores, I find that the products there are poorly made, thus not being worth buying. Dollar stores suck.

    Man I love any shop with a ridiculously low limit on prices (they tend to be £2, £1 or 99p here). They always have the most excellent and ridiculous shit, and you cannot beat them for buying shampoo etc, cos they have largely the same brands as regular shops, just really cheap and often from some bizarre foreign land. I love them for christmas shopping for small children etc. as well. Poorly constructed toys are ideal for small kids

    I tell you now, son, getcher ass to a 99c only store. Worlds apart from those other places. Whereas other dollar stores have crappy crap made in crappy countries, 99c Only stores are outlets for things that have been remaindered. Products that didn't sell too well. They had the Mountain Dew Orange Halo Xtremo Bullshit flavor or what have you - 2 for 99c. Weird frozen Pancake Sausage and Egg sandwiches - 2 for 99c. Lunch meats, produce, and a whole slew of bizarre canned goods.

    Yes, you have to sometimes check expiration dates, but usually it's just regular groceries that didn't sell well at regular stores or had packaging flaws. Redken shampoo and conditioner for 99c because the factory goofed and printed the label upside down. Lever 2000 body wash for 99c because some idiot accidentally spray-painted too close to a pallet of them and got a few orange dots on the bottles. Things like that.

    I, too, had written off dollar stores. Then I found these places. Now I hit the 99c only store first to pick up anything I need that THEY carry, and then the regular grocery store for the rest. It's saved me about a hundred dollars a month, I tell you what.

    I get these at my local convenience store, in the glass bottle, with the paper label, and it says hecho en mexico. I love these, buy them all the time in fact, plus they are only 99 cents.
