Those long hikes really burn off calories. <br /><br />BTW, Ruth is an excellent cook.

Some of them are simply wholesalers selling things at a higher price than the grocery. We prefer organic and our food bill in the US on the road is anywhere from $400 to $500 a month. But my theory is that food is the most important of the things you spend your money on.<br /><br />thanks for the vote reminder.Sherryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00328866430156879312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-87662402715377810272012-04-08T14:34:53.490-04:002012-04-08T14:34:53.490-04:00Voting is done, again!!

But then we forget we stocked up, and then end up stocking up again! LOL <br /><br />In the motorhome, almost everything has it's place so I know what is where and how much of it we have on hand. <br /><br />We sure do like hitting the veggie stands on crossroads or farmers markets. Are they around in Mexico too? I don't even mind paying more for it when it's right from the farmer out in front of his house. <br /><br />~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~<br />Karen and Steve<br />(Our Blog) RVing: Small House...
