I can't hold it against you folks with the little munchikins..Lord knows they can pack it away in them little hollow legs of their's. Have to equate kids to kittens, who are little eatin' and poopin' machines; and quite proud of themselves when they head straight from their food bowls to their litter box <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> Kids are a whole 'nother equation when it comes to food shopping...and don't even get me started on taking them to a TJ's or Costco, etc <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> Can't blame them, we were all like them many moons ago!

I use coupons and have only shopped once last year when the cashier did not return cash to my hand <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> upon checkout. Now that's shopping! I only a few cwertain items once a month, and being 1 person they last me the whole month. I grow, cook, and raise my own food so the expenses are minimal at the grocery store. I only drink water, for the past 35 years, no booze, soda, coffee <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />, yeah, no coffee and I'm this hyper <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />, so that's easy. I don't buy meat, and eat it once a month or less. Though since my friend sent me down some Bison, in trade for some things I sent him last year; I've been enjoying a nice Bison sirloin once a month <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" /> Had my own chickens so that solves the egg and chicken part if I want any. Mostly gave them away for trade, I like to barter <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" /> Fruits and veggies all covered...like I posted...Ate my last GARDEN FRESH tomato on New Year's Day <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" />

If I learned to sew I would'nt have to buy clothes <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> I know how to make deerskin clothes but they are'nt practical to wear unless you're on the set of a Western IME <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> Or one of the Village People, and, well, if you remeber who they are you should go to your closets right now and toss out all theose '70's clothes your hoarding with the big lapels <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
