It's all you. I moaned about the huge costs increases recently and I was
told you can feed yourself for 200 bucks a year. So get cracking with those
coupons. It's just your imagination that vegetables and fruit are cheaper
than beef.

And if you want sticker shock, try to buy a bag of Basmati rice. You'll
need a loan.
