Mr Block notes shopping requires judgment and patience as a media circus trails him during a 40 minute supermarket trip. The Blocks return to a $317,500 northwest city home with Labrador Shadow watching groceries and a double oven kitchen as they reveal a $60 weekly food bill amid an active social life.
