At least I brought lunch to work...

I've really been wanting this shareware game. There aren't a lot of mac games, and I really wanted it... What's hurting me most is that not only did I pay the registration cost, playing it is keeping me from doing per-hour work for my roommate, which could be earning me money. So after this entry, I'm going to work for an hour and a half for her, which should even me out after paying for the game...

Tuesday spending:

Coke: 1.25
Pers. hygiene: 8.30
Game registration: 24.99

Could have been worse. A splurge, but less than $35 total for the day.

2 more things that are hopefully going to save me money: 1) 0.99 of that 'personal hygiene' (which is basically my all-encompassing category for things I buy at the drugstore) was a small notebook. I'm going to start a price book to save money on groceries, and I've already entered the prices of the things I usually buy at Freshdirect. The next time I go to my other grocery stores, I'll write down and compare prices... and 2) I've started using a free online budgeting system, justbudget.com. It's working pretty well for me. I don't have Quicken or Microsoft Money or any of those, so this is the next best (free!) thing. Hopefully it'll keep me writing stuff down, and it figures out totals automatically, which will save me a lot of time.

Off to play games! I mean, work for my roommate... Yeah, yeah, that's it.
