Assignment #5

The article I chose was "30 Ways to Save: Shopping food thrift stores." I chose that article because in the title, it says "food thrift stores" and the only thrift store I have ever heard of was for clothing or toys. This article relates to my parents because the economy is so bad right now, and the cost of food is going higher, my parents are always looking for a good bargain. Thrift stores always have good bargains. What I learned from this article is that even though something might be a day old, or the packaging may be a bit bent up or crinkled, it is still the same food you can get for more money at a regular grocery store.

The other article I chose was "30 Ways to Save: Cost saving with cloth diapers." I chose that article because in the title, it says "cloth diapers" and I have only heard or seen the disposable diapers. This article relates to my cousin because his child is still in diapers and he is already one and a half years old, and in one and a half years, you can use a lot a diapers. What I learned from this article is that cloth diapers can save you a lot of money. $249,520 to be exact. Also, even though disposable diapers are easier and you can just throw them away, using cloth diapers is better for the environment and that is most important.
