I’ve seen how they shop. A single medium sized bag of groceries every other day. Basically what they can carry on public transportation.

I shop by the truckload and garden for the year.

I’ve got a 35 gallon sealed plastic tote in the garage full of dry beans, peppers and tomatoes. Next year I hope to triple that.

Well if you been in their homes the really don’t have much choice.

My office refrigerator is bigger than most of the ones you find in their homes.
