Keeping Track

So I've been logging all my spending money since I started this internship. While my spending seems to be pretty much on par for what I had planned/budgeted, it's always neat to kind of be able to see it from the big perspective. I've found that it's also helped me keep myself in check to be spending only what I need.

Except today.

I spent an extra 15 dollars on food that I probably didn't need, but wanted just because it was on sale. On a previous post, I mentioned how I don't have a co-op membership so I try to ask other people for theirs. Today, as I walked up to line up, something else struck me. I took a peek at the elderly couple's purchases, and then I looked at mine. It became obvious to me which set of groceries belonged to the 22 year old single guy. I, then, pretty much spent several minutes thinking about the groceries people buy; not entirely sure why I did, but I guess when I'm doing these things, adding to the fact that I'm a thinker, it makes sense. So I kind of concluded that you can really tell what someone is like based on the what they buy at the market.

I am not sure what else there is to say. Just kind of wanted to share this. Haha.

Happy July to you! (Since I forgot about it during my last post)
