What my wife had done, and I have never seen it before, she bought
groceries for the entire month. How did she know what we would be

I was reminded of what Solomon said. “The thing that hath been, it is
that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be 
done: and there is no new thing under the sun” (Ecclesiastes 1:9).
