farmer's market

Guys- I went to a store  4  times today.  FOUR.  I even bought stuff three times.
I really really really don't like shopping.
Stores are cold.
It takes me so long, I'm so indecisive. I have to stand there and look at what I need and think about where else (within reason) I can get it, for how much, how long it will last, and when I'll need to get more.
On the rare occasion I do buy something ...well

I think have a bit of an aversion to spending money 
...silly? 
a little 
but it comes in so handy when rent is due
and my credit score = fantastic
I can, and will, and do talk myself out of buying...just about anything
 Sometimes I suck it up and go shopping, but if I can avoid it- I do.

Maybe it isn't an aversion to spending money.  I am more than ready to pay for gas, or chip in for the kayak adventure, or buy paint...
going to a movie theater- rather do a movie night, but when I do go I LOVE it
restaurant? if I'm with people or need a serving of fish.
I'm not a fan of malls.
Thrift stores are much better.
When I get married- forget registering at BED, BATH & BEYOND- 
I'll have a list of the stuff I need and people are welcome to get them at thrift stores because that is exactly what I'll do for anything I don't get.  

Well, today I went to the farmer's market.  I may like the farmer's market...just a little bit.  I've never gone before.  They had some WAY good deals!  Like, bags of garlic for $1, 69cent potatoes, 79cent tomatoes, 99cent bell peppers.....do you know how much foodland charges for 2 bell peppers????  $6.32.   I don't buy bell peppers. 

remember those days when you went to the 
99cent store and got 3 bell peppers for the amount you just spent on 1?  
As a matter of fact, I do.  
I'm not gonna say it's a fair trade-off
....perfect weather 24/7 for cheap food...
but it works.
After 20 min of inner debate,
I did buy a Pineapple
pizza party, ice cream ingredient...and it smells so good!

and bell peppers.
pizza, leftover salad, stir fry.

now, off to the post office.

envelope? yes.  cheaper than a flat-rate box...and it
fits my stuff better.  WIN!
