1. I don’t know if I could stand two weeks of vacation.
True, although a better one is "I don't know if I could AFFORD two weeks of vacation...or even two DAYS of it."
4. Let’s go shopping!
Erm...what word do you think we use to describe buying things? 'Acquisitioning'?
5. My life is perfect, just as it is.
True...but we find happiness in smaller things. IF we didn't, we'd kill ourselves.
6. Self-esteem is over-rated.
Actually I hear (and say) this a lot.
20. What’s a dollar store?
A rip-off, usually. That's what they are. This guy really thinks we all shop at dollar stores?
26. I believe it, there’s no inflation!
LOL, don't get me started on inflation. When I hear 'chained CPI', I want some chains of my own for those people talking about how low inflation has been. Preferably after they've been heated in a superforge.
27. Let’s ask that policeman.
So true. I wouldn't trust a policeman to tell me truth about whether or not it was raining in a monsoon. The police are NOT your friends, and they actively hate you.
36. I love my health care coverage.
Useless. Useless.
Not bad overall, but you can tell the guy has more experience with the upper crust than us. Humorous though, for the most part. 
That's a good point; being a glasses person myself, I didn't even give that a thought (and I was strictly thinking groceries to begin with, not other goods, although looking back on the post I don't know why I got stuck on that). Now that I think of other goods, yah they have all sorts of dishwares, flatwares, measuring cups and other baking goods, oven mitts (although I do splurge on my over mitt, because the ones with a rubber interior help me open jars too and that's important!), and all kinds of other things.
And cards! 99 cent cards for holidays are very important; forget that 3-4.50 junk. I think my mind was half on vacation or something during that post.
...although my grandmother called me a few minutes ago to tell me strawberries at Aldi were onsale for 99 cents, so that makes me happier than a bug in a rug. Strawberry glaze pie this weekend, wooo!
And yah, you're right about that cost. $3.50 is what Wal-Mart sells strawberries for, and that's just a no-go. About the only reasonable produce they have is lettuce and grapes, and I dunno know it is but their grapes make me ill. It's something about a pesticide, I'm almost certain; I always get a chemically taste from them, then my head spins and my skin starts burning all the way down to my abdomen. I had to stop getting those, even though they were huge (I called them 'nuclear grapes' lol).
I'm old enough to remember when Concords were in the market.
Now they offer seedless purple which are just a hybrid of seedless green. Then you'll find "Globe" grapes. Which also taste like green seedless but are a little bigger, purple, and have a seed.
Concords are what they use to make grape jelly. We're talking a grape that you can use to make a pie.
