Not very many!

I definitely pay attention to prices. O did NOT buy monkfish this week
because it was there but costly: euto 24 kilo for a fish that has lots of
waste.

Well, both, and partly because when there are specials on certain pastas it
may be from an area or a company not usually sold at my store, but that I
find superior, so I buy a bunch. Or lamb, pork, veal are killed most at
certain seasons and are top quality and lowest price right then. I buy it
for the freezer because it is the best of the year.

I do, I think, but partly because I live in the country. Also because I
want to eat what I want, not what there is.
