That's not what you said sf. I had a lady tell me that They she buys food
for two weeks at a time. And that is exactly what she meant. Milk and
bread went in the freezer. If they ran out of something? Oh well. They
just wouldn't have it. This came up in reference to my running to the store
almost daily to shop for my MIL. The woman who did every two week shopping
was the list maker. And I certainly know of others who do the same.

If you meant fresh food, why didn't you say that? Never assume.
