I figure you’re probably bored with looking at my grocery receipts. Strangely, I’m not yet. This month I added up all the crap food we bought and it easily hit $50. Stuff like ice cream, chocolate, chips, etc., took a big chunk of our money. The question is, do you consider the organic selections to be junk? After all, Green & Black’s organic chocolate is still chocolate, and Garden of Eatin’ cheese doodles are still cheese doodles. We’re a work in progress, I guess. One of these days I hope to be one of those people who reaches for carrots or an apple when they want a snack, but I grew up on junk food and it’s been rather hard to kick that habit. At least we paid off another credit card.
I’ve been watching the financial stuff with interest. I find the whole thing fascinating, and not just because I’ve always thought the stock market was a poor indicator of what is actually going on in the economy. It’s about time they decided to fix a few things, although I don’t think the current plan will work. For one, I don’t think I should be punished and have to take care of the stupid decisions other people made. It’s true that the banks gave mortgages to people who probably shouldn’t have gotten them, but both sides are at fault for that. I’ve got thousands upon thousands of debt and I know I have to suck it up and take care of it myself. Maybe I could just print more money like the government does. That wouldn’t dramatically increase inflation or anything!
Ah well. All I can do is take care of me and my own.
October groceries so far: $32.07
