Spending Diary, Day 2

So the trick is to stay really busy. When you are busy spending money is at the bottom of your list. But also when you are busy, you are eager for a nice drink at the end of the day, which was the case yesterday. 

In the morning I prevented myself from spending on the usual--chai, food, errands, etc--by going on a long run, the result of which made me simply crave lots of water....free!

Having done the grocery store the night before, I saved on breakfast, lunch and dinner with items from my fridge, and there was even some left over chocolate from the previous evening's affairs, which held me over during the afternoon lull of trucking RFPs and emails emails emails.

After work, however, Kayleigh got paid and finished an exam so it was beer time. I picked up the Liquor Mart special, a 12-pack of Widmer Brew Fest variety pack, on sale for 12.49.....ah how I love you Liqour Mart....and we indulged. Not feeling particularly energetic later, I opted not to visit Walbut Brewery with the rest of the crew and went home for some reading and music, both of which I have already paid for.

Today has to be tight, because tomorrow is Farmer's Market, where spending too much money is all too easy and has not guilt associate with it because, duh,  its the Farmers's Market. 

Total spent for Day 2: $13.51
