16. oh yeah, that is a great way to open someone's eyes about the reality
he truly must have no idea what is going on in the grocery store if he is complaining about the amt she spends on food.

Of course she could just buy beans and rice and spices and see how he likes that after about a week. There are enough varieties of beans to have a different kind every day.

that is what I would do if someone tried that with me.

and instant milk
and day old bread
