[quote=Anonymous]Seems like for grandma taking the kids to McD's is more about getting satisfaction out of the idea that she's saving money than actually getting the kids something they'd really like. She has OCD and anxiety issues and saving a couple dollars gives her the same sense of relief someone addicted to smoking gets from going on a cigarette break. One of my relatives did this all the time. He'd go to dollar stores, come home with cheap (probably expired) candy bars and think he was so wonderful for finding a "deal." Problem is no one wanted the candy, and it's not a crime that no one wanted it, either. [/quote]
