[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Where are you shopping now and WTF are you buying? I shop at Whole Foods and Trader Joes, and I spend about $100 a week for two. I pack lunches, too. So it's not the stores you have to take a look at, it's your approach to food shopping. [/quote] Hummus and salsa for a family of four costs about $100 a week at WF for a family of four unless you folks eat through a medicine dropper. Liar liar pants on fire! What's left over for Trader Joes?[/quote]

Proves you don't know how to shop. Hummus in bulk and fresh salsa you buy elsewhere, like Trader Joes. You don't pay $7 for the tiny tub at Whole Foods if you are going to be chowiing through it. You spend $5 on a tub twice the size at TJs. And how many tubs of the stuff can you eat in a week? If you are eating $100 of hummus a week, you go buy cans of garbanzos at a buck a can and a container of tahini, some lemons and olive oil, and you shove the ingredients in your blender, every time you put out a plate. I thought you were doing everything from scratch.

There are people on this board who can afford to blow two thousand dollars a month on groceries. So they can just fill up the basket at a premium store and eat exactly what they want when they want it. The rest of us have to be smart and be considered in out spending. If you can't afford $100 a week in chips and salsa, there's also that word "no".[/quote]
