Thrift and Food

I just realized that I earn more money each month in interest than I
spend on food. Granted, most of that interest is locked in an IRA
that I cannot touch for decades, but it is still an odd feeling.

On a related note, I read that stores are seeing an increased demand
for rice and beans as a result of economic conditions. This is bad
for me, because it means that my diet will get a little more
expensive.
