Intriguing, Spending Money for Food (More So than Needed)

The truth for most people that go shopping is that the longer they stay in a store, the more they buy. For me? It's quite the opposite, the longer I stay, the less I'm likely to buy.

I bring this into whether I should go buy food outside to eat or not. I'll spend 15-30 minutes thinking whether or not I should go to some restaurant or fast food chain to get some food or go home and look around.

But after finding out yesterday that my father waits and waits until a special is on before he goes into a store to buy a meal that we, the general public, take for granted, it's been easier for me to not go to the store. My mother tells me, out of some form of frustration, that 6 dollars can feed my father for a week.

I'm quite impressed and my goal is to meet that pricing somewhere. Maybe 10-12 dollars a week for food. I dunno, but I think I can get there.
