I went to Target to buy the Friends set and a new bookbag since mine was quite literally hanging on to its shoulder strap by a thread. I've saved money from the past couple of "pay periods" to afford the bag and the Friends set is this period's entertainment budget...so I really only spent a perfectly acceptable $20 on school supplies and soap, both of which I was urgently in need of. But the two extra things were $30 each and I looked at my total and felt my mind explode. Aaa! I had to repeat to myself over and over: "Thirty is the bag, you saved for it. Thirty is the movies, you've planned for it. You are not really spending eighty unexplained and unplanned dollars at Target." I'm still not entirely sure I believed me, though.
