You can do that?

I eat a ridiculous amount of junk food. A few times I've kept all my shopping receipts and gone through with my phone calculator to see how much I spent on cookies, candy, muffins, doughnuts, snack cakes, etc. It's often around half of my entire spending for the month, a little less. Sometimes I have days when I live on that stuff. I actually don't even use all of my allowance, I often have around $100 roll over, give or take. But still - I tentatively support the notion that one shouldn't be allowed to buy that kind of stuff with benefits, and often when I do, like I mentioned, I feel like I'm stealing.
