#2 When we lived in Europe, whenever we came home to visit I’d bring empty suitcases to fill with 10 pounds of chocolate chips, a couple boxes of double acting baking soda, jars of Miracle Whip and bottles of hot sauce, the next two sizes of clothes and shoes for the trailing daughters, clothes and shoes for myself (Mr. Wife prefers to do his own shopping), books and toys... about $500 each trip thirty years ago.

Everything was so much more expensive in Western Europe if it was available at all, since we didn’t have base PX privileges. My credit card was stopped the first time — the transaction trail looked precisely like a thief running amok; thereafter I called them the day we landed in America to let them know how long I was going to be focussed on shopping, to prevent embarrassment all around.
