I mean, I looked at everything in that stupid little flyer in the mail before I recycled it today. Also, I bought The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks earlier this summer and have yet to crack it.

I say money spent at grocery store should be allowed (maybe a limited number of trips) but money spent for coffee or restaurants not allowed.
