"When? 1965?"

LOL! Exactly what I thought the first time I read this article yesterday. I have dropped $100 and come away with 2 bags (or part of a box at Sam's). I guess they could get 12 bags if they were buying all Ramen noodles or sumpthin'.

Only a liberal would see a problem with these two not getting enough to eat.....as for the daughter having a baby....isn’t baby the “other white meat”?

Maybe part of my problem is I still think in terms of paper grocery bags. lol It does take between 3-5 of those stupid plastic bags to hold what one double bagged paper sack would hold.

RDdB, I know groceries cost a lot more than they used to. I started buying my own in about '73. But even then I used to have such a disappointed feeling when I left the store $100 lighter with maybe two bags of groceries and there wasn't much meat in either one. Of course it hurt a little more then making $2 per hour.
