10x10 oil on panel, black floater frame
This image reminded me of my mom who was an Olympic-class shopper. She never missed a sale, and whatever you needed, she knew which stores had the best deal. We called her and her bestie “The Bargain Bettys”.
My mom could smell a buy one get one free discount from three counties away. The utility of the items was unimportant. It didn’t matter if she didn’t need two ... Frankly, it didn’t matter if she didn’t even need ONE! They were half off, so she bought two.
In every available color.
Our basement looked like a T.J. Maxx’s return bin after the holiday rush.
Although she did a lot to keep the U.S. economy going, she was also very “frugal” (that’s the word posh people use to avoid calling themselves “cheap”). We almost never ate out (we had food at home) and if you wanted Nike sneakers or Jordache jeans, you’d better hope they went on sale or it was Bobos and Wranglers for you. She came by her frugality honestly. She grew up in Scotland during the rationing and economic desolation of the post-WWII era. She came to America with a friend, when she was only 21. Presumably having gotten a BOGO discount on boat tickets.
