Confessions of a Paper Pag Princess

First week:

Monday: $7 Primetimes bought for friends in exchange for beer and pizza. Good trade.
Tuesday: $1 hot dog. Decide (actually) to become a vegetarian. "Borrowed" beer from parent's fridge. Politely declined to party in favour of 8am work.
Wednesday: $5 office snacks and caffeine. Start new job - necessary.
Thursday: $15 emergency run for cold medicine and Kleenex. $5 on vegetable soup.
Friday: $17 buy new sunglasses. Blinding rays hard on cold-filled head.
Saturday: nothing, but friend spotted me for $3 milkshake. Officially broke and cheap.
Sunday: nadda (day at cottage trumps anything, always.)

Total: $50

Sypnosis: This was incredibly impressive, but deceivingly so. It was only possible because I acquired bronchitis on Tuesday and retreated from all social functions as a result. Apparently, being contagious and disgusting is good for the bank account.

Note: I was supposed to get a puffer but it cost $120. I don't have a health play. Luckily (?) family member recently had bronchitis and shared the love. No more black lung.
