Oops.

So yesterday my friend offered to swing past the grocery store on the way home from work in case I needed anything heavy. This was a generous offer, as I DID need to pick up some dog food. I had purchased my regular groceries just a couple of days ago, and didn't NEED anything other than a big bag of dog-food.

Somehow, I managed to come out of the store $80.54 poorer. Boggles the mind, considering that my REAL grocery shop was only $59!!! I was an idiot and bought quite a few things that I really didn't need-- Twizzlers (on sale, for lunches) and a humungous pack of store brand Fudgesicles. For the record, because I ALWAYS forget, Sobey's brand fudgesicles are AWFUL. The Superstore ones are are so delicious, and Sobey's ones are soooooo bad. Save your 5 bucks. Sheesh.

Anyway, today was a day off. I bought a cup of coffee for me, and a timbit for the dog. I did it with my gift card, so it's coming out of the budget amount.

I've decided that the only way for me to curb the coffee habit is to use a pre-paid gift card for the week. When it's empty, I'm out of caffeine. Maybe this way I can put a bit of a curb on my coffee addiction. We shall see. :)

Spending:
9/07 - $59.71 (groceries)
9/08 - $6.20 - flea collar for the dog
9/08 - $80.54 (MORE groceries)
9/09 - $2.52 - bananas (i went to buy peaches, but they were all icky)
- $1.76 - coffee & 1 timbit for the dog

Monday.

I went to breakfast with my boss this morning, and since he paid for my beer the other night, it was my turn to fork out the cash today. He tried, but that would have been creepy and date-like. In addition to that just being icky, I'm pretty sure the BF wouldn't like it too much. That, and it would just be unfairly taking advantage of someone just because they have a better job than me. And that's not nice.

Went to Cora's* and spent too much money. Breakfast for two, including tip, was slightly less than $35. Isn't breakfast supposed to be the least expensive meal to eat out? Yikes.

*Am I the only one on Earth that dislikes Cora's? I haven't eaten there in a few years, and now I remember why. I find that while their stuff is fresh, well-plated, and relatively abundant, it's also ridiculously over-priced. I did NOT enjoy my raspberry crepe, and resent paying $12 for something I couldn't even finish because it was icky. Oh well. Live and learn.
