“By all means,” I said with a whimsical grin. “Lead the way.”
This was going to be very interesting and I wasn't disappointed.
Bravo father! Grand show!
I only picked a few items like pudding cups and dad picked the rest such as Hebrew National hotdogs, sandwich fixins, and breakfast danishes for the microwave. Dad also got me 12 frozen meals enough to have two a day for 6 days – lunch and supper. I slipped in some eggnog and Promised Land chocolate milk as well. There was no room in the budget for my usual breakfast foods this week and they will be sorely missed. Can you say midnight run to Wally World? Buy now and worry about the imminent repercussions later is going to be my mantra tonight.
The total tally was $91.50. Dad very visibly gulped and let out a sigh as he swiped his debit card.
“Now you see how hard it is for me to stay within my budget,” I told my father gloating and smiling. “I have to shop so carefully. It is so easy to go over budget. You get carried away. Impulse purchases are your worst enemy.”
