Not playing this week, but wanted to comment. Wow, this really says it all. We don't even look at the prices on stuff, we just throw it in the basket and move on. We really are spoiled aren't we. We also don't eat junk food either. Wow, that was something. Excellent post. Have a great day. :)

Wow - that's incredible. We've been cutting back on everything lately - food, gas, and so on. Still, we are infinitely more blessed than others and we sometimes need that in perspective.
