…that’s what I was over the past days while out of town.
It’s sad, really, how much money I spent. I bought new winter coats for all three boys plus a pair of snowpants. They were on sale. They all needed new coats. Problem is I didn’t need ot spend $60 at that moment. But here’s the issue I struggle with: I live so far in BFE that if I didn’t buy them while in a larger city, I’d not get back to another larger city before all the winter coats were put away and/or sold.
So I bought them.
I also spent $40 on dogfood. I’ve realized that our dogs eat better than us and this has got to stop. February goal: find cheaper dog food, at least for the puppy.
The thing with “going out on the town” in a larger city, especially when a special event is in town (like the one we were out of town for) is that it costs way to much for entertainment. A beer at a dance we went to was $3.50 for a can. To even get into the dance we had to spend $5 per person. $17 to get in and get a beer. Where I come from, $17 will get you drunk.
So, anyway, we’re home from our “free” vacation. Now we need to recover financially from it.
Did we have a good time? You bet. I’m just glad it’s not a every month occurrance. Otherwise, we’d be broke!
