You have nooooo idea! lol Plus there were only 2 check outs open, go figure! By the time we checked out both my girls were in whine/bitch mode since we were in the store for 2 friggin hours!! That's what happens when you don't go to the store for a month! lol Then as soon as we get home both girls go yelling to dad "mom spent over $300 on FOOD!" Like they were just dying to get me in trouble for spending that much money. Little boogers! That's what happens when you invite half the neighborhood to lunch every day!

And that's when you look at him and say, "$300 on food or $3,000 on Snap-On tools?"

I have a family of 5 and spend about $30/week for food. My wife is Filipina and we eat mostly oriental style cuisine consisting of rice, vegetables, and very little meat.

During the summer months I'm happy going out to the garden with a salt and pepper shaker!
