[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All of this arguing is silly. There is a huge divide in this area on the real lower/middle class and DCUM middle class. Most of us in real middle class don't have the funds to spend $25-50 for a box of veggies that is a few potatoes, a few carrots (really, what am I going to do with 6 carrots) and a few other things and not what we eat. Also, some of those have mass pick up sites so its not any different than going to the grocery store. Grocery Delivery is a luxury. Often there is a huge mark up on each product plus a delivery charge plus a tip. So you are paying 3 times you would in a grocery store. Likewise, I'm amazed at some of the budgets. Not all of us are buying whole paycheck or trader joes. Many of us budget shop at Aldi's, Lidls, and asian stores for the best value for our money. Many people making $300-400K don't have to worry about those things but for those of us making 1/2 or less than that, we've still got to worry about savings, college and other luxuries you can easily afford without thinking (or if you cannot you are way overspending). Additionally, it amazes me that many people cannot understand how some of us live in apartments or small houses surviving all this. There are so many benefits to small spaces including your family spending more time together. We have to listen to those saying oh, I don't know what to do with my kids or isn't it nice we are finally spending time together. We don't have a choice. One small living room or your bedroom. People are being so bizarre about all this but ironically those of us who are living on a lesser budget are not often as worried about paying our mortgage as its manageable even with job loss.[/quote] Was there a point somewhere in the middle of your ramble? Also, what do you do with carrots? Eat them. Raw or cooked any number of ways. Seriously?[/quote] It’s pretty telling how you can’t even step out of your bubble for a minute. We are lucky and I’m grateful but I’m not so lucky that I can avoid the stores completely. It’s just not reality for many. [/quote] My bubble. My bubble is I'm not ordering in food. We go out every 7-10 days and buy what we need. That was the point. You are in a bubble if you don't get that prices greatly vary store to store and many of us are not shopping at Trader Joes and Whole Foods nor even Safeway or Giant because of the prices.[/quote]
