Waste of Cash

Documenting my consumption weaknesses, buyer's guilt, and my way out of it all.

This blog was inspired by a sandwich.

A sandwich that I had to buy, because I was so hungry that I couldn't wait 30 minutes to get to my house and make myself something homemade (and therefore, cheaper).

A sandwich that I felt pressured to buy, after spending 15 minutes in line and having the counter guy stare at me while I read the menu. A sandwich that I immediately regretted, but was too embarassed to rescind my order while he went to go make it.

A sandwich that, 15 minutes later, I didn't really want, but ate anyways because I had already bought it and didn't want to waste food.

A sandwich that gave me a stomacheache, continuing even as I got home a half hour later.

The power of impulse and satisfying my immediate desire: $6.
