First learning experiences...

Just coming home from a very discouraging and depressing activity.... My first grocery shopping tour! I felt quite happy when a friend told me that he knows a nice supermarket where I can buy average quality food at really good prices. So I went there and bought the following items (well, you know me, the itms were really the cheapest I could find!):

- a six pack Budweiser
- a Baguette
- 100 gr. Cheddar Cheese
- 100 Deutsche Leberwurst (cheap german wurst mmmmmm!)
- Honey mustard
- one tin of tuna in oil
- 226 gr. instant coffee

Take a guess what I paid! It was 26 $ !!!!! Unbelievable! If it wasn't crucial to survive I would stop eating. I don't know how New Yorker survive at these prices!!! I am sitting here now, sipping the beer and concluding for the day that the times I go shopping are probably not many during the next months. My HUGE (maybe even massive ;-)) shopping tour will not even saturate me for a weekend whereas I can eat out for that money for two days! Well, no gourmet restaurant but nice coffee and salad and pizza for sure. And food will never go stale in the fridge. Plus I will have nutritional variety. So no more grocery shoppig for me!
