Two cans of the most affordable brand name coffee that still kind of tastes good: $12
Three pints of coconut milk creamer that doesn't come in more cost effective containers: $10
One box of Truvia to supplement the creamer because the only flavour of creamer left on the shelf isn't sweet enough: $4
Staying up to finish a fic I've been agonising over for the longest time just to have my coffee pot break when I'm only halfway through:
Priceless.
There are some times when my frustration can actually be bought.
For most of the time outside of that, it's just called my writing process.
