intellegent, while I agree its sick to extort the in-laws, many feel its the only way they will marry off their kids. Then again, we could spin off into a shidduch crisis…
As for living on $21/week – I could do that easily if it wastn kosher food. I coupon shop for everything and there are so many good deals for non kosher food. So yes, I could easily live for $21/week. The only thing I would have to cut out is organic fruits/veggies for my son, which I would prefer not to do but could.
