What does a nine-year-old boy eat?

Anything he wants.

This is posing a bit of a problem, as I've spent $80 in groceries since I've been here and I can't keep doing that. He just keeps eating my food. I have nonperishables in a locked cupboard, but my diet doesn't actually include a lot of nonperishables. He ate two pounds of cherries, a pound of grapes and three nectarines, all mine, over the weekend; this is not cheap stuff. He wanders in here -- my family shares a several-level house, ostensibly cut into private apartments -- while I'm at work, and he picks the fridge.

I can't do my marketing daily, because of work, doctors and transpo issues.

Help...

Oh, but I love my new store. So shiny. So clean. So well-fucking-trained.

And the people put the money in your hand.

Hmmm. I have no brilliant suggestions for you. My non-brilliant idea is, if it keeps up, maybe it would help to invest in a small cube-refrigerator and keep it in a non-kitchen, out of the way location. No idea how much those things cost, but presumably they cost less than continuing to buy food for yourself and a nine year old boy.

(Hello! Welcome to Massachusetts! Glad you got here safely, and that the store is improved.)

Hurray for the shiny store! I'm glad you are finding it a good place :)

And this boy, does he have parents who can be sternly told off? Maybe a locked box in the fridge would get the point across. Food stealers make me growl.

It might be a bit drastic, but could you lock the fridge somehow? If it's the sort with a side-by-side fridge and freezer, you could put a bit of chain through the handles and use a combination lock.

Or put lots of signs saying "Please do not touch; saving for dinner/lunch/picnic/marriage/the apocalypse" on everything in the fridge.
