I put almost everything on my credit card for the rewards. I was at the
hardware store to buy a $5 square, and charged that. Yet, on the way
out I saw some mature tomato plants (six-in pots) for $1.50, so I
circled back in with one.[1] That I paid for with cash. Somewhere
there's tipping point for me between $1 and $5 I guess.



1. This was just to supplement the smaller ones I planted earlier in
the week. This year I'm experimenting with a front-yard garden to shock
and horrify the neighbors.
