You know, I really should know the answer to that question as the
person who takes care of the money, but the fact is, I really don't.
Probably 100 a week in the store, but then there's the pizza or
chinese food delivery ... that's probably another 20-30. And how
much of my grocery shopping is other stuff like tissues and whatnot.

At any rate, I do shop the sales and use coupons and my (dare I say
it?) card, so I don't think I'm too extravagant. If I want something,
I will buy it. Eh, I went through times when that wasn't an option,
so what the heck.
