and like such a consumer.
Spent almost $300 today. Granted, some of it was necessary, like three pairs of new shoes (each fills a different niche) for $70 (Payless has a buy-one-get-one-half-off thing going on now, by the by); some articles of clothing (I hardly ever buy clothes or shoes, and they begin to show their wear); the usual necessities like bathroom stuff, cat food and litter; other stuff that I've had a need for, like a tape measure and an actual toolbox to put all my tools in, instead of just letting them float around ( I actually have some of them in a bag right now. That's sad); a second flashlight; batteries for said flashlights and my camera; and socks (how in the world do they keep disappearing?).
Hell, I'm looking over the pile of swag right now, and there's little in there that strikes me as excessive. I bought a pedometer ($5) for when I go walking and hiking and a couple plastic water bottles with measurements on the sides so that I can keep a better eye on my water intake at home and at work.
Those last three are really the only things. I guess everything just adds up fast.
That's why I laugh and say no whenever the cashier at Target asks me if I want to sign up for a Target credit card.
