I recently discovered that the / a / Θ money doesn't buy as much as it used to. I'd been living in the / a / Θ dormitory for two years and hadn't had to buy my own food for the / a / Θ whole time. Then, I moved into the / a / Θ apartment where I needed to buy the / a / Θ food for myself. The first day I wanted to get the / a / Θ juice, the / a / Θ meat, the / a / Θ bread and the / a / Θ butter. I went to the / a / Θ grocery store and put everything into the / a / Θ cart. When I went to pay, I found that the / a / Θ juice I had chosen cost $1.50, the / a / Θ meat $7.80, the / a / Θ bread $1.25, and the / a / Θ butter $2.00. The / A / Θ money I had brought with me was not enough, and I had to replace the / a / Θ butter on the / a / Θ shelf where I got it. Now, when I go shopping, I take more money.
