Growing up, I always thought my grandma was the cheapest person alive. She reused teabags, saved plastic bags, and scolded me for leaving lights on. “Waste not, want not,” she’d say.
When she passed, I received a single envelope in her will. Inside was a $50 grocery store gift card. I nearly laughed—classic Grandma. I didn’t really need it, but I kept it anyway.
Weeks later, I used it at the store. When I handed it to the cashier, her face went pale. She whispered, “Where did you get this?” I told her it was my grandma’s. She called the manager, who quietly said, “Follow me.”
