If I consider the cause to be "worthy enough" - and they have a donation jar - I will put a dollar or two into it.
If I consider the quilt to be something I might want - I might buy one for $1 or 6 for $5,00. I would not buy one ticket for $5.00
I quit buying lottery tickets when they went up from $1.00 to $2.00 each. I usually spent at least $2.00 before they went up, but the increase irked me.
