Now i’ve heard a lot about this ‘groceries bill going up’ shit for some time, and i have yet to see it. How the hell can that lady spend so friggen much a week on groceries? are they living on bloody caviar?
I have fed my family of 6 on about $150 per week for many many years, this includes with 2 teenagers and 2 adults. We have plenty of fruit and vegetables and meat. What we DONT have is plenty of junk food, stupid fizzy drinks (other than thrifty we use in the soda stream machine) etc.
We dont eat that far different a diet. Even on a really bad week i will only ever spend maybe $250, and thats with a bunch of extra garbage as in for a birthday party or something.
Now my oldest son has left home (hes 17), our bill has stayed the same, however often leftovers from dinner are used for lunch at work for both myself and husband.
So what in gods name is this lady spending her money on?
