I had $20 for food for the week but could always fit a case of beer in there.
Boxes of mac and cheese, cans of tuna and cans of peas for the vegetable and $5 for a case of Red White and Blue.
Kroger used to have a sale on Kraft Mac & Cheese, five for a Dollar.
You lived the good life because I bought the Kroger Cost-Cutter beer in the yellow cans with the scissors printed on the label. Red, White, and Blue was the equivalent of craft beer back then. :-)
