“I have sooooooo much to say about this episode. I am what is probably now lower middle class, I make less than $50k annually. This is just my two cents and how I roll, so…regarding the fancy dinner: first of all you weren’t paying for the tab. That’s not to say it’s carte Blanche to order the most expensive item on the menu, but you do know you can order what you want. Being that I am in the income tax bracket that I am, I specifically plan for these occasions. I do have champagne tastes on a box wine budget. I took my first mommy vaca to Palm Springs in May with my BFF and we flew first class. I researched flights and saved for that luxury. We had dinner at Frank Sinatra’s favorite restaurant, and in fact had his meal of choice. The bill was similar to yours. But I had planned for it because I wanted to do something that I don’t do everyday. The point is I plan for whatever the occasion be it $ or $$$$.
Now! On to the shredded cheese. Most of what I took from that was the convenience factor of not having to shred cheese manually. While there are plenty of times when shredded cheese is acceptable (taco Tuesday, etc) when it comes to actually cooking and melting cheese blocks are much better as shredded has anti-caking agents . Not to mention you’re getting more with your money. I also took away that basically the WIC items are bread, cheese, dairy, eggs…I didn’t hear about vegetables or meat. If changes can potentially be made by mounting requests for said items I think that would be extremely helpful.
I’ve really enjoyed this podcast and look forward to the next episode.”
