Alright got in first

Also a cute and funny touching story about a topic that can indeed cause disagreement between people. And very in character for both of them at least in my opinion.

How many times will those two brothers take advantage of ponies

As many as is plot relevant!

Honestly at least here they aren’t breaking any laws, they are just taking advantage of ponies who shop and don’t stop, they also appear to be upfront about no returns.

They weren’t breaking any laws in super speedy cider squeezy either.

Luckily for them, the law affords numerous ways to take advantage of people/tiny horses.

Reminds me of one of my family members who had no concept of budgeting.

Excellent little story on a topic I feel gets neglected. The dialogue was on point and Rarity's excuses got a chuckle from me.

Rarity seems a bit too sage though to be "tricked". As she pointed out, addictions are more like itches being scratched. That said, I think a follow up about overcoming her addiction would be enjoyable.

I love this, and it would be nice if there were some sequels, like where we see them talking to Applejack, Flim and Flam give a refund (or something like that), and she even could make a bisiness for saving money,

Huk

Interesting idea, and nice execution. Sadly, this problem is pretty widespread in real life :ajsleepy:

When your conduct affects the very pony who's calling it out, it's a bad idea to ignore it.

This was a fun one shot!

Rarity being a hoarder of stuff kinda reminds me of my own dad and the many times my family scolded him for spending on junk. This felt spot on to the issue addressed here.

I love how you portray the relationship of Sweetie and Rarity. Nicely done. You really showcase the love they have for one another even to the end.

Though the fact that the store being run by FlimFlam felt a little tact on at the end. That did not stop my enjoyment of this.

I'd be lying if I said this fic didnt spawn from a personal issue of mine! I tried to make it as real as possible, since it's a real life issue

To be fair. Sweetir don’t live at raritu shop;home. So she not filling up her parents home

Blast from the past!

This is a great fic! I've had this general idea in my head for a long time and it's awesome to see it had already been written so well! I mean, this does feel a lot like the opening half of an MLP episode where Rarity and Applejack face up against Flim and Flam's schemes once again.
