wow, i got this in my e-mail too and am wondering how much we filipinos spend on food every week. why not post a pic of your grocery for 1 week 🙂 I plan to do that din.
This is really interesting. We spend $100 a week for everything, from diaper down to milk. You can tell by some of these photos that some family is into food.
this is a very interesting post… makes one really think and be thankful for what we have… 🙂
Wow! That’s amazing!
