Today I spent on non-necessities. I even had sort of a spree. What did my crazed self end up spending? $36.21. I love how a binge for me is still little.
My first splurge was getting a $24.67 Clinique item to get the Bonus bag of make-up. I justified it to myself just fine; I tend to get the Bonus once every two years and that meets 95% of my makeup needs. So I got lipstick, mascara, lotion, and three other items. I love Clinique lipstick.
Then I got some bubble bath and two bath pillows at the dollar store. $3.22 on pure luxury. One pillow will replace the kinda broken one in the bath (which will go in my travel bag), and one will be back up for later, so I don’t spend more than I want when I need the bath pillow.
I continued to go nuts, and bought fresh fish at the store. My Guy likes catfish, and it was reduced for quick sale, so an $8 something package became $4 something. We’ll have oven fried catfish tonight, one of our favorite dishes, and one that we rarely have fresh fish for. And it doesn’t end there….I got a small bag of fresh cherries! Reduced price, but still, cherries! I only went to the market to get the $3.79 2 pound block of cheese with a dozen eggs free, and I buy fresh fish and cherries.
I’ll have a good dinner tonight, and a lovely bath, and the satisfaction of having nice makeup for a long time. And I’ll have the extra satisfaction of knowing that when I spend like a mad woman, it costs me less than $40 bucks. Whew.
