4. I can understand why they are looking carefully and walking slowly.

Monday

Two weeks ago one of my neighbors came back from the grocery store (not a high end one)
and texted me she was trying to figure out how she spent $400 for a relatively small amount
of groceries. It is just herself and husband and they both are not big eaters!

I told her I had just run in to the store to get a couple of things and walked out with a small bag
that cost $40.

I feel sorry for parents with kids. How are they going to feed all those mouths these days.
