Where tf you buying $8 packs of smokes
That's $8 for the single cigarette
Fuckin New York eh?
The rez. And more like $8 cartons.
in 1990, $8-10 a carton; nowadays it's barely worth the short drive there--they price them 'just under' regular retail price here.
You clearly don't know a guy. I'm from Canada, rezoning(bad phone! rez not rezoning) smokes(with a status card) are just "tax free" so only like 14% less depending on what province you're in.
Can still get the no name ziplock bag cartons for $8. Not that I'd say they're actually worth that.
Also where TF you buying $8.99 pink dress, socks, AND hair dye? Thrift store?
My wife buys clothes at https://us.shein.com/. Think she found them living in the Philippines, they seem to have an Asian slant, and kept using them when she came here.
Unrelated tangent, but I would urge you to suggest to your wife that she shop at other places. Shein is among the worst companies on earth in terms of the scale of their pollution.
Additionally, "a documentary by the U.K.’s Channel 4 found that Shein employees were working 75-hour shifts with very little time off."

Fast fashion is pretty gross.
Thank you, I had my suspicions.
I know a lot of places in GA where I can get a pack of lucky strikes for about $4...camels come out to just under $6.
Cincinnati. $10.50 for Marlboro smooth 100's.
