However, unless .you are dif ferent from most shoppers you think of money spent in the food store as money spent for food. This meins you blame the food bill for being at least 20 percent higher than it really is. About 23 cents out of erery dollar spent in a food store isn’t spent for edibles, Mrs. Uzzle ob serves.
