Sounds a lot like my list! But cmon, two kinds of cheese? Living high on the hog there, Sam. Slap an extra layer of mayo on that sammich and call it good.

now since there’s strict list. Is there also an eating schedule? Becuase with you guy’s family size, that could be eaten by mid week.

Hey, to futher economize your effor, pass out food ration tickets to each family member when you shop.

Here’s one for the guys. Switch to shaving soap and a straight razor. It takes some getting used to, but you will save a ton on shaving supplies.

I could never switch over to soap and a straight razor – I’d end up cutting my own throat trying to shave. I don’t have the necessary skillz.
