What? I am absolutely flabbergasted by this comment. For those who do not know my lovely family consists of my husband (MSG) and our four beautiful children (Junior, Gamer, YouTube, and Miracle). Junior left at the end of July for basic training. Some how him leaving and going to basic translated into him no longer being a part of our family and me no longer his mother. Really!!!
July, 2014
The other issue I am having is the baby and I were in the market today. I needed milk, bread, eggs, and some fruit and vegetables for the week. There were a lot of sales going on (which is pretty common in between paydays). The biggest deals were on snack foods. Right by the door was a large display of chips. You know the ones that "Bet you can't eat just one". They were on sale for a $1.50 a bag. We walked past them to the fresh produce. I really wanted to make fresh vegetable soup and some apple- carrot juice. A 5 pound bag of apples which had about 13 apples in it was $4.99. A 3 pound bag of granny smith apples were selling for $2.50. There are 5 of us in the house so I went ahead and picked up a bag of each. That works out to be about an apple a person for maybe 4 days. $7.49 for fresh apples or a bag a chips a day for 4 days at $6.00. We would never eat that many chips in 4 days but it is just an example. My family would probably only need two bags of chips to cover 4 days, so only $3.00. Anyone else see a problem with this?! It makes me so angry. I want to stand in front of the store and say boycott the junk and just buy fresh. Then maybe we can get decent prices for fresh produce. I know so many families who can't afford to buy the fresh fruit or vegetables it makes me sad. Shame on our government for not have their priorities straight and making the health of the American people suffer for their greediness. Help a mom out!
