[QUOTE="Bagels, post: 1182004, member: 43436"] You have some very short-sighted views. Fresh produce is VERY expensive -- you can stretch your food budget by buying processed "junk" foods. At a major grocery store, $4 will buy a family size bag of chips, a package of ten hot dogs and a package of eight hot dog buns (all store brands) -- enough food for about two dinners for a family of four, but very poor nutritional value. Please tell me how I could consistently make a nutritious dinner for a family of four for $2. Money may be negatable for somebody with a large(r) discretionary income, but to millions of American earning duel-incomes just above minimum wage, it's a lot of cash. I'm always bemused by people who describe ten-year FT Walmart employees earning less than $10/hour (no additional benefits) as being "overpaid" while also considering a few bucks to be a negatable amount of cash...
