long,,,I go out for bait on Thursdays to last me thru Sunday.

I have a similar thing here... I usually go out


for a month of shopping on a friday... so it will


last the children over the weekend. This week


they were off school, so the shopping day was
brought forward.


Clearly, when Jesus fed the 5000 with just the


odd fish and loaf - they were not 5000


children.

=A0Hahahahah,,I KNOW you're right....mine have all left the nest, but I
can relate to the days when a few hundred dollars worth of groceries
with kids could last a few days,...,and that's if you're fortunate.
There's still some good ol' bartering going on at some local
markets.....a truckload of vegetables swapped for a truckload of fruit,
etc,..with the prices of fresh fruit and fresh veggies (which aren't
really fresh at all, in addition to being loaded with insecticides and
all kinds of other nasty sh*t, unless you buy organic or irradiated and
then you're spending even MORE) it's cheaper to grow your own these
days. Just about the only fruit we buy at the store are South American
bananas and Chilean grapes,,eveything else is Florida fresh from our
backyards, groves, or stands. Betcha this state throws away enough
grapefruit each year to feed several small countries.
