my head is weird about food, idek

[borg_princess]

I have a problem with spending money on food. It is really hard for me to do. I just see it as such a huge waste of money because, as I mentioned to revengent once when I was angsting over spending money mother gave me to buy myself dinner, food is transitory. I see no value in spending money on it, unlike with possessions I can hold onto for years

lmao, I think that you might just be cheap! The thing is, just because the food won't last for years, doesn't mean that it holds no significant value. You need to live so you'll be around until you're ninety! I know people who buy food at the 99¢ and think it's too expensive, but trying not to pay for food is a whole other story!

I am cheap! With food! When it comes to fandom, though, whoa, watch out, dude! I buy all this stuff I'm never gonna use or prob even look at again because ZOMG, HARRY POTTER or OMGSQUEE, LEGEND OF THE SEEKER. I'll spend any amount of money on something that has a picture of a character I fangirl, it's terrible.

Hee, yes, well, ofc I'm not saying I'm gonna do without food altogether because I'm not trying to kill myself. But I'd rather live on toast and cereal than buy, like, meat and veg and have 'proper' meals. (and even then, it's awful how cheap I am, I can't buy bread from Safeway for ~$4, nope, I will get it from Aldi's for $1 or go without *headdesk* Why, self? WHY?)

I need to find a hypnotherapist to make me change this behavior.

Translate all of that into food lol! You might just need to see a therapist to get to the root of the food cheapness. Cheap people are never cheap when someone else is paying. It's like YEAH FREE FOOD but the second they're paying, they're crazy about everything. idek want to know what your uber cheap bread looks or tastes like lol.

Haha, when mother and I are at Safeway and I'm holding the basket for her, I wind up slipping in a bottle of soft drink here, a tin of peaches there, ooh, some chips as well...but she knows that'll happen, so I don't feel bad, lol. Me, though? ZOMG, MUST COUNT EVERY CENT BEGRUDGINGLY.

*gasp* My bread tastes perfectly fine, thank you! It's exactly like the bread I've eaten from Safeway!

In non-food related expenditure, however, I will have you know that I am paying for my own ticket and my mother's when we go to Tasmania! I'm so excited! We haven't ironed out the deets, but it's hopefully gonna be in April. :D

lol, this is why your mom worries about you! She knows that you're too cheap to pay for your own food!

If you say so.....*knows it tastes like sawdust*
