end of the month splurges

Okay so I have $35 dollars left for food (after the following) and it's almost the end of the month so I went out yesterday and bought a small coffee and a chocolate eclair. These are things I used to get every weekend but after denying myself for several months (this mission started before Jan 1st) it was so much fun to get a few treats. I may have gone overboard later that night by grabbing a 20 from my Christmas gift money and buying a bottle of wine and $5.00 chimichanga at my favorite Mexican restaurant but a splurg never felt so good - especially knowing I'm still on budget.
