    I feed my family of 3 on about 120 dollars a month and believe me I eat well.

    Can you give me some tips on this food bill thing because that is amazing! We have double the people in my house, all growing young men who work out and EAT, and can be picky :-/ but STILL our food bill kills us!

    I swear between me and the two dogs I spend more than this.

    FrChuck (or Mr.Toni, whichever you prefer) - how about some tips?

    Oh, gosh - I have no idea why I don't have rickets.
    Was vegetarian a few years myself :-) and YES I love tomato sandwiches and sometimes forego the carbs from the bread and just eat the tomatoe or 2 with salt & pepper :-)

    Which BTW... to the original poster - fresh tomato plants can be grown even in a planter :-) minimal cost involved :-)

    In my neighborhood around this time of year people are handing out, giving out vegetables. I grew zucchini one year, had a zillion of them (more or less), people started avoiding me for fear I'd pass some off on them.

    I also took another look at OP's photo. I realize she hasn't been back, but she does NOT look severely overweight to me. Wonder if it's more about depression over her lack of funds.

    Wish she would come back -

    I am not "attempting" to descredit you. We are posting on the same threads and have very different opinons on everything from foot fetishes to seducing men to grocery stores. I notice I am not alone in disagreeing with some of what you have posted. This is particularly humorous because at least on this thread I posted first and then you posted.

    Did I mention that my husband owned stores?
    Again, you are describing a pharmacy, NOT a grocery store. In most normal stores,
    The Deli is included in the perimeter.

    You are very much out of line - your backhanded swipe at my abilities and accomplishments is totally unnecessary and unfounded.

    "Normal" stores? You are the new standard for "normal"?

    So we disagreed on whether it's appropriate to advise someone how to seduce her boyfriend. Does this mean I spend the rest of my tenure here having to deal with your sarcasm?

    Where did I say we "only" owned a Pharmacy - or two?

    FYI - my husband is deceased. I'm not riding on his coat tails.
