Dinner 🍽

Babe how r u?! Did u play Sims after work?

Lol not yet…

How was work?

Normal…

That’s good? Not too stressful?

No… it was okay

That’s great! My prayers worked 😇💕

Awwwww… thank you my love. What about your day?

It was okay too.

I didn’t fight with any bros. Just watched the rest of them fight.

They fight?!?!?

ALL THE TIME! 🤣 LOL…

Like a cute fight or…?

Nope. Not cute. Really big ego fights.

About what?

Money.

Money?!?!?!

It’s always about the money.

Oh… … …

Jealousy and bitterness…

How?!?!?! Y’all are so successful!!!

There’s still different percentages…

?!?!?!?!?!

Don’t worry about it babe. At least I wasn’t a part of their drama today.

That’s good… 🥰💕

What did u do after work then?

I went to get groceries…

Oh… again?

Yeah. I’m finding that I do spend less doing these little top-ups instead of a big trip to Costco…

Oh…?

Yeah. I just rock up and see — what’s on half price special? Or the other one, I don’t know what it’s called but it’s like expiring soon so it gets marked down A LOT… as long as I can freeze it, I get it.

Wow…

And I try not to get anything over $5 — like I shouldn’t have to pay more than $5 for one of those ready meals. I shouldn’t have to pay more than $5 for a can of Spam. If it’s not less than $5 yet with the mark downs, I’m not getting it. And I’m just surprising myself with “what’s in my pantry this week?!” With what I got from the mark downs.

It kinda stimulates my creativity too. It’s kinda fun.

Wow… interesting… so you don’t care about the brands you care about what’s on sale.

EXACTLY.

Like I need a protein. What proteins are on sale? Chicken kebabs? Mini frankfurts? I’ll eat almost anything. If it looks like something I can easily prepare, it’s 50% off and less than $5 a portion, I’m getting it.

Oh…

Not even a portion. Like a packet. I just feel like, I shouldn’t have to pay more than $5 for each item in my trolley. It’s a money mindset my father taught me.

Really?! This is the first time you’ve talked about him like this.

Yeah… basically you just set that limit. And you’d be surprised what you can find!

What did you find today?

I found a “spam” but it wasn’t the normal spam brand…

Lol…

Normal Spam was more than $5?!?! 🤯

Babe. You really haven’t gone grocery shopping lately have you?

Nope… 😅

Anyway I got that… I got some frozen meals that were marked down to $3.45

I got some frozen yoghurt 🥰

Mmmmm… I forgot what else. It wasn’t a huge shop. I’m now like, if I have a day where I finish at 4pm, I’ll pop into the store to see what’s on sale and I’ll get anything that feels like it can be kept a while whether on the shelf or in the freezer. This is my new strategy.

Interesting… but you know babe. You don’t have to live like this when we’re married. You can buy ANYTHING with my credit card.

Okay I’ll enjoy those luxuries when the day really comes 😘❤️
