Hi,
I guess I fall somewhere between Egypt and Poland, but you can't go by me.. I am only one person I never know for sure how much I spend, because I really don't price anything.. I buy the best brands. Somedays I have been know to go to the local upscale fishmarket and buy a dozen oysters on the half shell for a $20 lunch... Yum.. Enjoy... S.

I am SHOCKED! I spend about $150 a week plus $20 a week on JP for our family which goes into the grocery bill budget. I cannot believe what people pay!!!!!
