Your reference to collecting empty bottles to buy more MSB shoes
was amusing. I had an island beach home once and used to collect empty cans left on the beach by day trippers.. The beach would be a mess and I would jog it early morning and then with a bag collect the cans (partly because I am an environmentalist and when the tide would come up it would wash all those cans into the ocean ) but they also generated me a refund sufficient
to buy the New York Times on the week-end. Being that I was on an island the Times was $ 3.00 or more.(20 years ago)

But it would take a lot of empty cans to get to buy those shoes. Good luck. What's the return on an empty bottle.<g>

Inflation has set in... I am going to look at the shoes Eleutheria mentioned too.
