As she has to pack her lunch for work (no restaurants or takeout on the little island where she works) Kat went food shopping, and promptly got a big dose of sticker shock. For the small amount of food you see here she paid $100.49. Most of it she said was on sale, too. I looked at the receipt she sent a snap of and just the two rolls of paper towels were $9.99. Last week I paid $13.00 for twelve rolls of paper towels and groused about it.
Living in a place where most of the commodities we take for granted have to be imported means paying a lot more for them, I guess. I see a lot of banana and cereal breakfasts and PB & J lunches in her immediate future.
