I watched "Wife Swap" last night. This is what I like to call "LCD" (lowest common denominator) TV. In other words it was put on the air for people like me. This show rocks, you take two families ("Family A" and "Family B") from different ends of the social chain, economic chain and possibly the food chain, and then swap the wives for a few weeks. Nothing could possibly go wrong with that situation.
Last night was spectacular "Family A" is so hell bent on buying groceries on sale and then in bulk quantities that they turned the bathroom into a storage facility for bulk paper products. She gets swapped with "Family B", whose income appears to be more than some third world countries. "Family B" claims to spend $1000.00 per week on groceries and eating out.
"Family A" uses paper plates for meals because that they feel that the time it takes to wash dishes is better spent spending time together. The husband from "Family B" busts out the calculator and shows the wife from "Family A" that they are spending close to a $1000.00 per year on paper plates (we're hitting close too home here, that's a weeks worth of food for this guy). So in rebuttal the wife from "Family A" proceeds to tear the paper plate into quarters, this woman has just cut her paper plate expense by 75%.
I guess as someone once said "fact is stranger than fiction".
