...month grocery bill for his "Little White House" at Sea Girt, then ordered an investigation of his quartermaster general's housekeeping operations. Items, in a month, for 20 people: $172 for soda water; averages of $30.23 a day for meat, $22.36 for poultry, $7.83 for lobster, $7.23 for caviar; eleven pounds of butter a day, nine dozen eggs a day.
