i kind of know how Mac feels. Food is very expensive now thanks to the droughts this year and it's sometimes difficult to afford it. Plus I kind of hate grocery shopping and spending money that I need to pay the bills and other things. so I only get the basics. though i will share my secrets of success: buy in bulk and often times, generic.
I hate shopping and spending money. So when I lived by myself, I didn't mooch off of others, I just went without. Not very good at taking care of myself.
I know many people like that. Especially at my d&d games. I can't afford to be the person who covers the bulk of the food since I am job hunting but I always make sure to bring something. i would feel to much like a leech otherwise when at a continual event. a one time thing however......
