Helping Alice With The Household Budget

From Hollywood, the Phil Harris Alice Fay show. For your enjoyment here is the Phil Harris Alice Fay show, written by Ray Singer and Dick Chevrolet, with Elliot Lewis, Walter Tetley, Robert North, Janine Ruse and Whitfield, Walter Sharpe and his music, yours truly Bill Foreman, and starring Alice Fay and Phil Harris.

With food prices as high as they are, most housewives are faced with a shortage in their household money. As we look in the Harris home, Alice is discussing the problem with Phil. Phil, would you please listen to me? You don't even know what I said.

Huh? Why? What'd you say again? Oh, oh I know. You said that you were... No, no, no. I said I'm having trouble with my budget. I've tried every way, but I just can't reduce my expenditures.

So why? A lot of women have big hips. What if you do waddle a little when you walk? It's cute! I'm talking about my food budget. Prices are so high, I need more money for my household expenses.

Now prices aren't high, you can go into any market and get butter for 22 cents a pound. And eggs are 24 cents a dozen, bread is 5 cents a loaf and coffee is 25 cents a pound.

When's the last time you went shopping, Wendell? My mother used to send me to the store all the time when I was 12 years old. No wonder. Everything was cheaper in the gay 90s. Do you know that today butter is about 79 cents a pound?

Eggs are 60 cents a dozen, bread is 23 cents a loaf, and yummy yogurt is 34 cents a pint? Yami raised his yogurt that month. He can't do that. What are the boys in my band going to take their baths in?
