Big Spender

I know. Two posts in one day. Try to contain yourselves.

I thought I'd share with you my two 'big' splurges at Winco yesterday. First of all, did you know you can get a gigantic bag of off-brand popsicles for $1.28? I didn't either. Totally all over that. And then, in the canned vegetable aisle, after loading up on 8 cans of a variety of generic beans, I was desperately searching for the Hytop (Winco's generic label) brand of stewed tomatoes with green chiles, so I could fix chicken enchiladas. I found none. Stewed tomatoes, stewed tomatoes with garlic and oregano, stewed tomatoes with something else I didn't need, but none with green chiles. I found myself breaking in to a cold sweat digging through the stock on the shelves, because the Hytop brand is 58 cents a can and S&W costs $1.08, people!

Then I stopped and realized I WAS BREAKING IN TO A COLD SWEAT OVER SPENDING AN ADDITIONAL DOLLAR ON S&W STEWED TOMATOES, grabbed the tomatoes, and made a hasty escape from the canned veggie aisle.

F***ing budget.

So there you have it. I splurged on a whopping $2.28 worth of groceries. I hope you were sitting down for that.

I hope Bryan finds a good job SOON, before I die of an aneurysm.
