I save that for after. Sort of a prize for a job done well.

I'm on Reddit. What do you think I'm doing?

I hate everything. Except for the movies I love; those are fabulous but you probably wouldn't like it. Everything else OK, I guess.
Not a good or logical system but I've been told that's how I rate movies. Does sound like me.

Here's more detail on how Stanley and Emerson appear to have merged in this poem: https://quoteinvestigator.com/2012/06/26/define-success/?amp=1
I've stopped trusting any quotes and aphorisms. :)

Reply to comment by strolpol in Dollar stores were the fastest-growing food retailers by household expenditure share between 2008 to 2020 according to Tufts University. While they still represent a small fraction of national household food purchases, they play an increasingly prominent role for disadvantaged and rural communities. by shiruken
My anecdata: I'm in a high population suburb of an East Coast city. The local Walmarts, while plentiful, have become difficult to shop in. Plus, since my separation, I just don't need as much.
Dollar Trees are a good size for me to get through efficiently. I don't buy food, but I'll pick up Arizona Arnold Palmers: 33oz for $1.25, which is pricey compared to gallons at WM but I don't need more. Took me five minutes to scoot in and get wine glasses for a date last month.
Even their OTC drug prices work for me. I know there are reports on their drugs being subpar, but the cold meds have been perfect for the short time I needed them.
What I'm saying is that what they're offering fits my now-single lifestyle.
If I need food, I can go to Aldi and if I need bulk I can go to Walmart or Costco. But I don't find myself needing or wanting to store bulk. Call it a lifestyle choice.
