I got laid off a while ago so I'm trying to make my dollars go farther. When I had a well paying job, I'd also buy more stuff, but nothing too crazy. I miss hummus the most, I think. I never buy soda.
The other day I was with someone and we decided to order food like old times, and it was like $40 for two of us. I was like, fuck, that's a third of my whole month's budget right there. But I don't want to live like a monk all the time.
