One of my purposes is to find out how much I actually do spend. Or how
I can spend less. I probably don't even begin to need to spend that
much, but I am trying to find out. So, this is a challenge to
myself..

And a challenge to myself to see if I can actually eat a well balanced
diet, and not have a starchy diet based on just rice and beans and
other low cost starchy stuff. I think I can do it..but it may not fit
with the preconceived notions of other folks that spend a ton of money
on groceries.
