The one is simply maintenance/necessity. The other is a new "toy". The first gives one no pleasure -- the second is a bit of retail therapy. I

I just agreed to spend $11 CDN / Lbs for local, ethical, organic pork. I can do that, supporting a local farmer, because I've learned the very Canadian virtue of a bit of frugality in the day to day things.
