...is another man's daily groceries.
Whenever I start to destabilize I end up wandering around aimlessly and going on random shopping binges. Most people would probably spend thousands of dollars on clothes or something, but not me. Instead, I buy food. Cheap food. Sometimes expensive food, but usually cheap.
In other words, the kinds of food I buy are in most middle class people's grocery budgets as staples or daily lunches. Today, I purchased:
* Korean red pepper paste (necessity)
* Korean tofu stew base mix (necessity)
* Japanese miso paste (necessity)
* Melon-flavored mochi cakes
* Pepperidge Farms classic cookie mix
* Pillsbury cookie dough
* a Gulp soda from 7-11
Not exactly super cheap but not exactly gourmet. Quite honestly, the kinds of things I'm craving are very "stress cuisine". Dominos pizza, brownies with ice cream and hot fudge, chocolate cake with whipped cream, nachos, waffles, iced tea, fish and chips...daily normal stuff. Not cheap if you're unemployed. But certainly not Michelin-star cuisine.
I hope that this is as far as my binges go. If it stays at this level, I might be able to keep things in check. But if I start buying all my meals out, not matter how cheaply, it will get problematic...
