See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

My TV comes in over the antenna, I don't have a landline, I don't buy coffee very often, I don't buy many clothes or shoes, I don't go out for lunch at work--my biggest household indulgence is a good Internet connection.
then I blow it by going into Best Buy and being seduced by a keyboard cover for my Samsung tablet.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Woo Jess and PMM!
And Tep and msbelle! Being responsible.
I really need to make an austerity budget for myself. I have been putting it off for so long. I have already decided February is the month I start Getting Shit Done, making a budget will have to be part of that. (Note, not sticking to the budget, that I'm not going to even try to do until after Iceland)

Go Jess!!!
I'm afraid to look at average spending numbers for "normal" people. I'm feeding 3 here, though they contribute here and there. But damn we spend a lot...we don't toss a lot of food, so it isn't getting wasted.

Cooking is odd in my house. I get home between 7-8 PM, throw something together, eat it. Housemate gets home 10:30-11:30, eats what's left. Sometimes there are leftovers. I generally eat breakfast at work, from meat and cheese and tortillas I ahve there, and I bring my lunch. Housemate eats his lunch from what he has at home, sometimes the leftovers. Not having Hubby at home spending the afternoon cooking has changed out dining for the less interesting but kind of cheaper.

Congrats to Jessica and Plei!
Food is definitely our biggest money waster -- we just eat out or get takeout much more often than is financially desirable. But to change that would essentially require that we spend all weekend cooking (since we rarely have time during the week), and I just don't see that happening.

Congrats PMM and Jess! New jobs hooray!
I am on a no new clothing for six months plan, due to my tendency to buy new dresses to cheer myself up. A) I have a lot of dresses. B) I need to pay down some debt.

I know a lot of people are pretty good about making A Big Pot Of Sunday Something that you can eat for lunch during the week. Stew, Pot roast, ham, soup, lasagna, homemade bolognese sauce etc.
