Hey! Come back.
When we were kids, we actually found some in an abandoned house.
Shoeboxes full!
We took the notes home to Mama, don't remember what she did with them.

My great great family members were all southerners during the civil war. GGGdad was captured and consripted into the union army, sent out west to fight the indians.
His wife with several children got something like $10.00 a month in aid.

Yep, Gregor.
Try raising 13 kids on an annual income of about $480.00.
Somebody was doing some serious s-t-r-e-t-c-h-i-n-g.

I feel your pain as I have adult children and mean that exactly like I typed it out.

On the subject of supermarket shopping (although maybe a tad off topic) have you noticed how women will look for the best 'sell by/use by' dates, but men will just take the product at front of display (so will have limited time to eat it).

Yes, ma'am.
Most men will simply pick up whatever is closest at hand.

My wife has never done the weekly shopping in over 25 years, she didn't even come with me. Having said that she doesn't do the cooking and when she did shop years ago she was totally broke until she met me. I think it should be "Some women know how to stretch a dollar"
