The Rabbi was on line in the Supermarket, Ahead of him was an eldery Lady who was obviously not well off.
She had only a few items as it was obvious as she could barely afford what was there. The items were mostly food except for the Bounty.
She then looked in her purse and looked at the items and mumbled (loudly enough for the Rabbi to hear) that Rabbi Blumenkratz said not to buy the Bounty and buy the Hemish Brand . She then got the more expensive Hemish brand of Paper Towels and removed FOOD from her order because she could not afford both.
Most people dont go around asking the Rav’s for every single product, they go by what the book says even if it means sacraficing food for some non-food Chumra
