I think you're getting a little crazy, sweetie. Throttle back. Whataya mean? It's food! It's not like a luxury or anything! It's about four hundred dollars worth of food. Try looking at the prices before grabbing. Four hundred...? Isn't that a sign of the apocalypse? It's a sign that you don't shop for groceries Larry.

Infinite wants meets limited resources. I have that problem too. Then there’s the whole “where do you draw the line between luxury food and necessary food?”

You can only invest so much on food, if you have more than you can store before it goes bad than you’re just wasteing money.

I can remember hoping gas would not be considered cheap at .75 Also remember Dad giving Mom a twenty for a week of groceries for 5 and most of the time having change left. ☺

Larry could start getting and studying grocery store ads, then start shopping with a hand calculator in hand, adding the price of each food item into it.

And, you could buy 5 for an hours worth of work. Now you can buy at least double that amount for an hours worth of work…So it is not as bad as you make it
