   I hate the  so called average when their numbes are way out of line of   
   the prices around here.  A good paying job is only around $ 40,000 to   
   50,000 a year.   
      
   I wonder if that price is just for food to eat or if it includes other   
   things from the grocery store like toilet paper and dish washing soap.   
   Just the wife and I now and the  needed items other than food from the   
   grocery store add to probably 1/3 of the cost each week.   
      
   The numbers are like saying if you put your feet in liquid nitrogen and   
   a blow torch on your head you are in an average temperature f 70 deg.
