My expendible income may perhaps change if I had a family true, but I would never skimp on the quality of food I would provide.Comment

My point was that your view of SY being 'tight' isn't fair. I don't need educating on quality food, ta v much.Practically perfect in every way....there's a time and (more importantly) a place for malarkey.

All the years I spent at ClientCo away from home, different countries, one of the few pleasures was trying every restaurant I could find. Don't think I ever shopped in a supermarket during that time.
Nowadays I shop in the most expensive place around here because the quality is better and that's all that counts for me, couldn't even tell you what the bill comes to as I never look at the till or receipt.
Always eat the best quality IMHO.

You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave JohnsonComment
