$300 worth of groceries

[Kermit]

Janet - I told you that you'd catch it for the NA beer even though I didn't mention it specifically.

Why geez, drinking NA beer is about as impractical as driving a Smart. I mean, what's the point? (I'm mocking the Smart naysayers) FWIW - I haven't completely stopped drinking alcohol, but haven't had a drop in several years. It's cheaper that way.

Eric hasn't had a drop in over 25 years, but he did miss the taste of European beer, which tends to be darker and "richer" than American beer. It took a long time to find what we both considered to be a good European beer.

And it's fun to crack open a "brew" at 10 am on a workday morning.

It depends where you live.
$300 in the average supermarket here is about enough to fill the tailgate and 3rd row of a SUV. (if you buy "average stuff").

For Texas: $300 doesn't seem to go too far
I hate the economy..........but......it might help me with an Orphan and financing with bad credit scores

Janet, I've enjoyed a few NA beers myself. And, like you, I don't have any desire for sweet drinks. I bought a soda once around mid Summer. Didn't finish it. That's the only one I've bought this year. Beer, coffee, water, milk, an occasional wine. I was just kidding you about the NA. Good choice.

Janet - remember to look under the glovebox in front of where the passenger's feet go. There is a really BIG shelf under there you can place MORE stuff, , I keep those 9 recyclable cloth grocery bags there all the time. It's a great BIG hidden storage space.

Hey, I tryed that yesterday. Stuffed the bags under the passenger dash.

Next time I took off from a stop sign they fell on the floor. I thwent to pick them up and they were HOT. It turns out they were blocking the floor Vent.

Lesson of the day: don't put anything that can melt under there in the colder weather.

That's quite a feat, but I hope you didn't exceed the luggage compartment's cargo limit of 110 lbs. (Tech. Manual at 12).

Isn't North American beer cheaper than imported?

Okay, people, if you are going to stuff the passenger footwell compartment, remember to watch out for that sensitive air conditioner duct sensor connecter on the left side.

Way to bring up a zombie, bb!
It's good to know I can do plenty of grocery shopping and still fit it all in.
