Minor Detail #13
I’m a cheapskate.
My close friends would beg to disagree but really, I’m a cheapskate. I’m not exactly tightfisted though because if I were, then my savings account should have already taken me to my dream destinations (will blog about them soon). Generally, I’m stingy but I don’t mind splurging on a couple of items, namely:
- Food. I’m a picky eater and I’ve learned my lesson not to settle for less when it comes to gastronomic satisfaction. Case in point: I was worried I would overspend in a recent local trip so I avoided restaurants and settled for more affordable meals at the food court. It didn’t work out. I quickly realized that it was all right to shell out a little extra for a decent, delicious, vegetarian meal. I guess this makes me an even more insufferable travel companion (because all my friends are omnivores and are willing to eat anything, anywhere).
- Office supplies. I don’t mind spending on quality items for my work space.
- Air freshener. It’s an obsession. I’ve learned to divest myself of expensive hand soap but I can’t say no to air freshener.
- Magazines and books, even if I don’t get around to reading all of them!
- Movies and (good) popcorn. Doesn’t matter if it’s the best cinema in the world. If the popcorn isn’t good, I’m not watching the movie there! (Which reminds me, my Popclub Privilege Card is missing.)
