Consume Product

I often buy gift cards with cash for purchases of exactly the amount I plan on spending if I require to purchase something new from a commercial retail store.

Otherwise I buy with cash second hand. Not a single item of clothing I own is not from a thrift store (and some found on the side of the road during student move-out days near the local colleges).

Every kitchen appliance except my coffee machine is from a thrift store. The coffee machine was found on the side of the road on my way home during late spring - most likely college students, again. Same place I got my laser color printer/scanner MFC. The printer was missing a cable. The coffee machine had an automatic gringer which did not work - but I found out it was just a worn out part which I repaired using paperclips heated over my gas stovetop.

I do not own a car, but rather several bucycles and children's trailers to use for transporting groceries, many of which I get from volunteering at food reclamaition non-profits such as food banks and soup kitches. I have also dumpster-dived many times, and at one point found thousands of dollars of protein bars which lasted me nearly 3 years.

Do you think many small business owners actually hide cash they make? I feel most would report all earnings like good goyim.
