Yes, it is expensive/costs a lot to stay alive and eat halfway healthy. As a single I tend to buy a lot of already prepared food. I am sure it is much different in multiple-people households. Heh, my sister remembers being given forty dollars to do grocery shopping for the week for our family of 13. Times have changed! Plus I eat organics when I can. Some people pooh-pooh that, and others simply cannot afford it. I wonder how some can afford to eat at all any more! I was trying to remember what else I may have bought but, that was it, and I have the bill right here:
Bag discount (we are well trained here) ................................,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,-$0.05
Organic goat milk blueberry kefir .............................................,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,.$6.49
Lemon raspberry cookies ..................................................................................$6.99
Fruit and nut squares .........................................................................................$12.99
Heritage sour dough bread ..............................................................................$7.99
turkey/veg sangy (it's huge!) . (........................................................................$8.99
Egg salad ..................................................................................................................$5.86
hot soup (chicken orzo mixed with chicken noodle [self-serve]) ...$11.99
potato wedges ......................................................................................................$3.24
It adds up fast! The soup will be my lunches at work tomorrow and Friday, and I have left-over egg salad...
