Supposedly, the average Utah household (undefined in what I read) spends the most per year on groceries.  Next up were Alaskan and Hawaiian households.

I think in Utah they marry and have kids earlier than in other states, maybe because of a popular religion there.  If they have lots of kids that would likely drive up their household's total grocery bill.


Always stay cheerful, be polite, kind, and understanding. Accepting yourself as the woman you are is very liberating.  Never underestimate the appreciation and respect of authenticity.  Help connect a person to someone that may be able to help that person.  Be brave, be strong.  A TRUE friend is a treasure.  Relationships are very important, people are important, and the sooner we all realize that the better off the world will be.  Try a little kindness.  Be generous with your time, energy, wisdom, and resources.   Inconvenience yourself to help someone.   I am a brown eyed, brown haired woman.

Its hard sometimes.  Okay most times.  Empty Nest.  Both of us working. 

I no longer want to cook so much.  We've gone from shopping big quantities to just what we need for the week.  One can eat only so many potatoes you know.

Spicy potatoes?  Bravas, generally would mean picante, no?  Tell me more.

It's an appetiser you can get about every  twenty feet here in Barcelona. Fried potato chunks with a spicy sauce. Most are pretty basic, but we've had essentially a hasselback version as well.

Fascinating!  You are the first on line acquaintance that even knows what Hasselback potatoes are! 
Thank you for the memory :)

It is about the same for me recently.  I may eat better food; but, less often, and the total spent is about the same.

Unless I am on my way to Ohio to hang out with my friend, I don't bother. The food costs way too much, and it's always a toss-up if it's going to be any good or not. So, no. I don't bother. Even if I am with my mom and she wants to stop at White Castle or something. I just wait until I go back home to eat. With the absurdly high price of groceries, it makes zero sense to eat out now.
