I have been putting some numbers together, and have found that buying groceries just leads to multiple negative things.
I end up spending more money per month when I actually buy groceries. I end up spending more time working to get the money to buy the groceries. Use more space in the frig when i place food in there, which also leads to using more electricity to run the frig. Use more toilet supplies, more gasoline to go and get the food, and usually have to spend valuable time actually preparing the food. I have found I accumulate less trash when i dont purchase food...the list just goes on and on.
Is anyone else experiencing the same negative effects from buying groceries..?
I am now officially purposing an all out GROCERY STRIKE!...Everyone with me?
The national slogan will be something like "Stop the Groceries, Stop the Crap".

I agree it has its down side but keeping the fridge full actually makes it run less. They say you should keep a fridge or freezer full with jugs of water or something to fill the space.But I would love to go out to eat every meal.

Great Idea! wrong focus!
Put these numbers together. When you spend more money for food, you pay more TAXES. When you earn money, you pay TAXES on that money. you feel you need more money, so you work longer hours and end up paying more TAXES. After paying TAXES on the money you earn, you paid TAXES on the frig. You pay more for electricity and more TAXES on the electric bill. When you sit on that toilet that you paid for with after TAX money, you must ponder that you paid TAXES on that toilet. More toilet paper used, more TAX paid.
More flushes, more water and more TAXES. Now you are paying over a dollar per gallon on TAXES for the gasoline. The TAX bill just gets bigger and bigger.
So start a strike against TAXation without representation (sounds familiar), and I am with you all the way.

It's all based on fuel, the price goes up thru transportation costs, don't blame the distributors or the retailers.

If you want to go after the top dog Exxon for fuel.
