{Rain Gear}
I can feel the money draining from my bank account every time I merely go looking for an umbrella, rain jacket, or water-resistant footwear. I think living in Ohio where we get a ton of rain and honeymooning in a traditionally wet location warrants the purchase of some rain gear, so I’ve been doing some browsing. I mean, it’s not like I won’t use it, but does a rain jacket really need to cost $99? Tack on $20 for a respectable umbrella that won’t collapse instantly and another $40 for waterproof shoes that won’t send you to work with wet, smelly feet or leave you sliding down the pavement and you’re already up to nearly half a paycheck. I don’t need expensive top of the line gear, just basic, non-hideous, functioning stuff. The search is both disheartening and ridiculous.
{Fruit}
Cherries, green grapes and rhubarb especially. I’m continually amazed at how I can go to the store and come out with $7.70 worth of cherries! And that was only the small/medium sized bag! Rhubarb is $2.99/lb. and green grapes are right up there with cherries. Laaaaame.
{Airfare}
Okay, apparently totally gone are the days of booking a last minute weekday flight for next to nothing because they want to fill the seats. Gone also are the not too long ago days of the $89 each way flights I used to frequently book at all times of the year. Big bummer.
Just thought I’d take the opportunity to share my recent shopping woes.
Happy Monday.
