The context of the following conversation is Carson went to the grocery store today, and spent half of his paycheck.:
Carson says I just blew half of my pay check on groceries..
The friend responds Half? What did you get?.
Carson responds That's the thing, after spending that much you'd think I'd have a fridge full of food, but I don't.
The friend responds Did you buy a lot of junk or cleaning supplies?.
Carson responds Not really. Thinking back it was a lot of fruit and frozen goods which go into the drawers and freezer..
The friend responds So you didn't waste any money. You just bought things that get packed away which makes your fridge look emptier than it is..
