Financial Failure

Well, I asked earlier if you thought I could make it through the next two days with only $1.

I couldn't.

I was planning on making Apple Dumplings for dessert tonight as a special treat. The problem lie in my fridge. The recipe calls for two rolls of refrigerated cresent roll dough. I knew I had some in the bottom of my fridge, so I didn't bother picking any up the last time I was shopping.

Tonight I had the apples all peeled and ready to wrap, and I went to get the packages out to use.

"What! You've got to be kidding me... What are we going to do?"

Out of the FOUR rolls I had in there, none were plain. They were all garlic. That tells you what I was craving when I went shopping last time.
So the girls and I headed out to the store because I had already told them what we were having-- keeping promises is more important than budgets, right?

And while I was at Fred Meyer, I had to grab some wheat berries for when we want to try Tammy's Wheatberry soup.... I always forget, so I thought while I am here, I will just get them.

Over budget? Yep, a whole $3.50.

Oops.
