    Well, I have no kids at home anymore so no save on clothing/diapers. I don’t go to restaurant anymore, too expensive. My wine/beer is more than 7% alcohol, so maybe I will save a few ¢ on chips.

      Speaking of chips PepsiCo has increased the price of bag astronomically over the last few years. I basically don’t buy them any more because it’s like 6 dollars a bag.

        At my local grocery store the chip prices are insane. The instore version is reasonably priced ($2 a bag on super sale) but otherwise I can’t afford to eat chips.
