So I was in the ole Walmart doin some grocery and my mom calls , and of course I pick up and start a conversatin'. Nothing much just seeing what I was up to. Of course I tell her I'm getting some grocery and she asks what I'm getting . So I proudly send her this picture ! She says " o you must just be starting " I say " Uuuuuugh no I'm about to go to the check out this is about a weeks worth of eatin" There's a rather long pause and she come back with "Boy ! How is that a WEEKS WORTH OF FOOD ! You got a snack ,one MABYE two good meals off that chicken , a slaves breakfast with them biscuits and milk and WATER ! You gonna starve !" After my ear stops ringing I tell her : "Naw look , I can make a good size pot of dumplings with that chicken , biscuits and milk that's about a week right there ! I 10lbs of rice at the house , and I can put the pepperoni in my ramen noodles ,and by buying the stryofoam cups I saved $1.56 instead of buying the cup ramen , then I don't have to was dishes !" Yet another long pause and she just says " REALLY ?" I take a long second of contemplation and said " yeah mom your right ! I already pay a water bill I just refill my Gatorade bottles and toss em in the fridge !" She proceeds to tell me I ain't been right since I joined the army and hung up Idk y'all figured she'd be proud ! Heck I didn't even mention the cabinet full of sardines ,tuna, and crackers I got or the box of MRE's I got stashed away. !

You better watch out. Your mom is probably going to be hard on the prowl to find you a wife to cook for you now.
Keith Yep, I bet them wheels are turning right now.

That should be good for a couple of home cooked meals. Did she notice you didn't have any laundry detergent in the cart,?

My mom use to leave a bag of groceries on my porch when I was at work. Mom's will always be mom's. Thankful to have them while they are still here.

Help me understand canned biscuits? Its no wonder your Mom is nervous. I didnt know people really ate those things
