Chocolate and/ or Cheese

I picked up some Cadbury eggs today, put them in the cart, and walked around with them for about 5 minutes before I convinced myself that they were NOT in the budget. Still averaging about $8 a day for the rest of February to get back and track and $3.19 for chocolate cream filled eggs... oh heavenly yumminess, is way to much wasteful spending for an $8 a day budget. A strange thing happened once I decided they needed to leave. If you've been reading this blog very long then you're well aware that Cadbury eggs are quite possibly a bigger weakness of mine than even coffee. Well, I wanted to get rid of them. I was frantic to get them back to their location. Normally I fight with myself about these little decisions even after I've returned the item to its home in the store but this time I actually saw the little chocolate treasures as $3.19 coming out of my budget instead of a bit of momentary happiness in my hours away from home and family work day. Oh dear, I think, maybe, I might be growing up.

There will be another day for a box of Cadbury eggs but today I lived quite happily without them.

Average daily spending: $13.19

Today's lovely: Home baked macaroni and cheese, my Grandma's recipe. I'm so in love with this cheesy goodness!!! Pretty good substitute for chocolate eggs in fact.
