95% of the clothes I buy for my kids come from thrift stores.
I drink a ton of diet soda.
I only wash our sheets and towels every four weeks.
Our house cleaner comes monthly, and we don't really clean in between
I only bathe my kids 2x per week.
I eat a lot of processed food
I like crappy chain "restaurants" like the Corner Bakery, Dominos, and Chipotle

+1. I don't walk around in public in my pjs but I will drive my kids to school in them, under a coat.


Okay, so not trashy then.

I drink Coke and like drugstore candy.

I sometimes pick at my skin.

I wear clothes even after they start to get holes and loose elastic. Generally I move them to "home only" but I've definitely been caught out of the house in a hole-y t-shirt or sweats when I just didn't bother to change.

I'm cheap -- I bargain shop for everything from food to travel to clothes. I clip coupons and use them. We are middle class (especially for the DMV, HHI of 130k) but I spend money like we hardly have any. Though I think saving religiously and being frugal/environmentally conscious are not actually trashy, but the response of many people around us to our spending habits indicates that others do not agree.

People are so weird about class markers like where you grocery shop or how new your car is. I think people in this area are very afraid of poverty. They work very hard to make sure you know they have money. I don't get it. Isn't simply having the money good enough?

I bite my nails.
We camp in a trailer for all our vacations.
