M stared at the pile of trash incredulously when I said I was going to buy some of this stuff. The bag full of "trash" is actually examples of what I can order from Al Haji, a man who travels by motorcycle to the country immediately south (and only a few miles away but with more products available). From him, we can order in bulk any of the products whose old wrappers are pictured here. So far, he has supplied us with oatmeal, brown sugar, soda, toilet paper, and bleach. Since he cannot read, he takes the wrappers we select and brings them with him when he goes shopping.
