You may see a common theme of purchases.  Potatoes, eggs, bologna, sliced cheese.  Only things I want to eat lately.  I cook grand meals and just don't want to eat them.  I might have a spoonful or a taste.  My mainstays are plain baked potato, hard boiled eggs and sandwich with lots of lettuce.  All I want.
