Agreed. Although I've been unemployed now for 16 months, I'm still considering this as "temporary." I'll start eating more healthy foods when I start getting a paycheck again. In the meantime, a 79-cent can of ravioli for dinner every few weeks won't kill me. Repulse me; maybe - but it won't kill me.
We need to stretch every dollar, so my shopping list is basically, "whatever's on sale."
