Love that book. It really puts things into perspective, both comparing the amounts spent and the amount of fresh fruits, veggies, processed foods, etc.
There is another interesting book by the same guy, Material World, where he takes a photo of the family outside in front of their home with all of their possessions. One of my favorites as a kid. So fascinating to see how other people live.
jaesi!
answer my other comment on your previous entry.. and i love the grocery stuff.. reminds me totally of the philippines ( : love ya babe! krissy
Also, I'm insanely jealous that you guys only have 9 months left ... months! We have about two years. Will you be going home to Utah?
i wish that i had $341 bucks to spend a WEEK on groceries! think of the food storage you'd have! (or ice cream...which ever) lol
Krissy....Maya is my blu eyed babe...who knows where she got it...
We ARE considering TX. San An. would be sweet!
Im coming sometime in August....and staying till Jules' wedding.
cant wait to see you...
Tracy.....Yes! 9 more months! probably not UT since there arent alot of jobs....but southwest for sure!!!
Mindy....ice cream for sure. Haagen Das.
Yes, I too recommend that book Material World. I loved looking at it as a kid too!
$500 a week on food? Come on! If I had that much I'd go out a lot more. Also, it seems the less money someone has the more fresh food they eat...not to mention rice and beans because it goes far and fills your belly.
wow! That really makes you think.
Thanks for sharing.
We are so blessed! Thanks for the reminder.
I've seen this before and it really is very impactful.
i loved that...so fascinating!
that is really interesting, and makes me realize how lucky we are!
