My father in-law says that my husband is bad and I'm worse. I grew up in a family where my mom fed five people on probably around fifty a week in the 1990's. Granted, it was stuff ending in "Helper" and "A-Roni," but as cheap as I am, I cannot do that. To cut back on spending, I have gone to doing one meatless meal for every meal with meat and have cut my food bill from $50-$60 to $20-$30. We have both lost considerable amounts of weight because of it, and that's even with eating stuff like ice cream every night. I don't like to shop unless it's for necessities, like if my pants have holes or my shirts are starting to wear out; I refuse to buy new clothes if I'm not going to get rid of older ones.
