Day 3 - Mmm a milkshake...

I've gotten to the point where I regret not purchasing any spices or beverages other than coffee. You can only enjoy coffee and glasses of water for so long before starting to get annoyed at the lack of choices. I had started the day with $15.40, and wasn't really planning on spending any money...Then the challenge card came.

According to the challenge card, I had some borderline obsessive craving for a milkshake and had to buy one (I may have paraphrased a touch). At first I kind of made a snide comment questioning why I would buy a milkshake if I didn't have that much money, but that all changed when I got that milkshake as it was delicious.

I was still in Winnipeg at that point, so luckily the closest gas station sold some sad form of milkshake. I had to get a ride to the store, because it was definitely not walking distance, so there goes a dollar. I bought the milkshake,which was highway robbery at it's finest. $3.90...For a milkshake. So I basically dove right in to my lovely milky beverage that ended up costing me $4.90. It was delicious. It was a really nice break from the constant Mr. Noodles, eggs and coffee diet. I suppose if your day-to-day life involved budgeting every meal, a milkshake now and then would be divine. Even on day three, I appreciated the awesome taste of the strawberry shake.

 I'm back in Kenora now, which cost me $2 for the trip (I was in Winnipeg for an appointment.) For supper I fried up some Mr. Noodles with two eggs, just to give some variety to my menu. I find the eggs add are a nice filler. It tasted mediocre but I find my meals more...I don't know, exciting?, important?, zeal-filled?...The point is when I eat them, I eat every last crumb and find myself more grateful for having them. That may have been only because the only thing I had before supper was the milkshake...

Overall it was an expensive day, costing me a total of $6.90. I now have $8.50 for the remainder of the challenge. Hopefully the challenge cards are nice to me...
