Cómo superar el alto coste de la vida (1980)
Oregon, 1980. Jane, Louise y Elaine, tres amigas inseparables desde la infancia, sufren los efectos de la crisis económica. Jane no puede casarse ni permitirse una niñera; por si fuera poco, su padre, un veterano de guerra, se va a vivir con ella. Louise, casada con un dentista, tiene una tienda de antigüedades que ha dejado de ser rentable y que sólo le causa problemas con Hacienda. Tras ser abandonada por su marido, Elaine tiene que afrontar graves problemas económicos. Las tres amigas, viendo que no pueden resolver su crítica situación, elaboran un plan para apoderarse de una importante cantidad de dinero que un centro comercial va a sortear entre sus clientes.
