How come I can't just go to Costco for what I need?Jay and I went to Costco last weekend for toilet paper (I know, romantic, right!?!).
Just toilet paper.
I was aware that the odds were stacked against me for sticking to my one-item list, so I get myself a budget.
Here's what I said to myself: "Lisa, you are only going in for toilet paper. However, if you find something else, it's okay. You may not spend over $100 though. Not under any circumstance (cool Halloween decorations, new pens, new clothes, etc.) is is okay to spend over $100 today."
With that said ... we headed in ...
Here is what I came home with:
- Dog Bed (he already has 3)
- Q-Tips (I'll need them eventually, right!?!)
- Tupperware that is microwave safe (GENIUS!!!!)
- Toilet Paper (at least I didn't forget!)
- 2 packs of men's socks (yes, I wear men's Gold Toe socks ... I love how high they come up my leg ... they keep me very warm in the winter under my jeans)
- New set of Pyrex
- Halloween decorations
- Laundry detergent (don't really need it, yet)
- Dishwasher detergent
- A book
- A Wii controller charging station (this was mainly Jay's 'want')
- A bag of chicken breasts
- 18-pack organic eggs
Now that's budgeting people!

You walked away from chicken breasts???? Wow now that's determination! I buy them every time I go well that and TP!
very impressive indeed. for the first time in YEARS i bounced a check last week. why? because i went to target and spent $342. Yeah. two weeks later and i still have buyers remorse. i hate that feeling. it would be hard for me to spend less than $100 at Costco... good job. :)
btw... when i looked up what check bounced i am absolutely mortified. it was to the church. ugh.
Wow! I'm impressed. But...that new set of Pyrex..hmmm....would've been nice.
