I'd be stunned. A shopping cart full usually costs me $250-$300, and I buy the meat elsewhere. When I was a kid (~1965-1972) my mom would cash a check for $50 each week, buy about 10 brown paper bags full of groceries, pay for my school lunch, give me her pocket change to deposit in the kids school savings bank program, pay the milk man, donate to whatever kids club that came around collecting, dad would grab cash out of her purse for his weekly coffee/donut money, pay for intermittent things like my books from the school book fair, occasional camera film processing, etc .... and she always had money left over!
