I spent $4.80 on a coffee at you now where but only because I was visiting with friends I hadn't seen in a long time. Otherwise, I never would have done it.

You make it sound like a bad thing. I got tea from there for $5.60 today. There's nothing wrong with it.

I spent 3.66 on "chew bones" for the dog. She has "those eyes". You know what I mean, those frigg'n begging eyes. She loves the chew bones. I could have gotten 30 miles out of my car for that 3.66.

Aw, I know exactly what you mean. I have two baby dolls myself, which I spent $96 on today! Had to get them groomed. I spend $15 on a haircut for me, $45 each on a haircut for them. Such is life. They are so sweet though and it's part of owning foofy dogs.

You realize you could have just gotten regular coffee for $2, right? And to NJBest, $5.60 for tea? OMG. You need to read my response to your "Forget Frugality" thread. If you're not careful, you are going to end up in dire straits methinks. Unless, of course, you are very rich and have a lot of money.

Thank you!! That was my reaction too. No, it's not a bad thing... but to me, it is a totally unnecessary thing... for me.
