It's very monastic
Apr. 1st, 2005 09:17 pmSo, today, I ate my last bag of chips... until the 15th, anyway (or unless someone else buys some chips and I just partake). If I succeed, I'll only buy one bag of chips a month, on approximately the 15th.
Every once in a while I try to look at the things I like and ask myself, "Am I capable of doing without this?" Because I know how the universe works - things don't generally get better, I just have to make do being satisfied with less. So I'll try to head it off by cutting it out early. So what's next? The weekly gyro. I'm also going to try to reduce this to once a month, and grab a sandwich or something before I go for work and comic day instead of buying something on the go. If I can't grab something from home, I'll probably just have a single cheap McChicken since they're the McDeal on Wednesdays, and a lot cheaper than the gyro.
I won't go into it full tilt though, this time I'll try to wean my off slowly, so this month I'll still have fairly regular gyros.
