Does anyone have tips on how to negotiate hospital prices down?
Not sure, but when I had surgery, they were fine with me paying $25 a month. As long as you pay something a month, they can't do anything to you. At least I don't think so, maybe I because I went to a surgery center and not a hospital.

Working at Walmart and seeing what people buy with their EBT cards, I really want to say you really want to waste all your EBT money on that junk. But I just have to hold my tongue. I also would like to say, I'm busting my ass working two jobs, plus doing some at home work part time. Why are you so lazy. But again, I have to hold my tongue.

When I stand behind someone at walmart and see what they are paying for with their real money I wanna say "Are you sure you really wanna buy that" but instead I keep looking at my phone and make up stories in my head.

I worked retail cashier/manager for 2 years. The same people came to my store every week. You could see when they got paid/ebt and how they spent it. Some where great with it and had enough for the whole month. SOME made some awful choices like 8 steaks and 13 cases of soda at the first of the month and then begged me at the end of the month to give them % off their bill cause they don't have any money. I saw you at the start of the month with 800$ (Our machines showed us how much they had for some reason) and I saw you buy JUNK ontop of JUNK. I eat on 150$ a month for 2 people. If you cant feed 3 mouths for a month with 800 you got a problem. /rant

Why is your life goal to get a Corgi? Shouldn't you have larger life goals?

Edit: Like be my best friend.

$800/month. Wow, must be nice. Tell me how you eat on $150 month for 2 people. I'm lucky if I come out of Walmart with under $100/week in groceries, and that's with a discount. Do you shop at Aldi?

I had WIC for a few years after I had my kids and always got a lot of dirty looks from people behind me because I had to pay with the WIC checks (the card didn't exist back then). I always wondered why WIC was so strict but you could buy almost anything with EBT. I never qualified for that.
