New Shoes, A Movie, Gas, and Groceries

November 7th, 2016 at 02:23 am

It was a spendy Sunday.

We took our younger daughter to see Dr. Strange. Great movie! I don't regret the movie tickets. I had allocated cash towards this expense. I do regret the pop and popcorn though...I should have put a snack in my purse instead. My husband would have bought the soda either way. At least we went during matinee pricing.

I bought new running shoes. My last pair lasted about three months. I poked a hole with my big toe, and the soles were very worn. This time I bought the same pair, but decided to go up a half size. I've been walking A LOT...easily 5 miles a day. At that rate, one does go through shoes much faster. The shoes cost me $95.99 at the Post Exchange...no sale tax and probably 30% cheaper than buying at a traditional store.

We filled up on gas and bought groceries today through the next payday. Groceries were $168.81 including laundry detergent, kleenex, cat food and a multipurpose cleaner. The gas was $33.85.

I might get my hair cut tomorrow, otherwise I don't expect any other spending tomorrow. Right now I don't see much spending this week!

    OMG I am sooo jealous! We actually had a parents night out (paid the YMCA $50) and bought tickets for Dr Strange last night for the 5:15 pm show but we couldn't get seats together so we gave up and got our money back. OMG OMG OMG. So jealous. I wear my shoes out fast and they are brooks adrenalines at $120/each. But good shoes are important and it makes a world of difference on my feet.

    We spent the night at home binge watching tv and just talking.

    I can't wait to see Dr. Strange. I love Benedict Cumberbatch!

    What would you say the level of magic, etc. is in Dr Strange? I'm trying to decide if I want to see it or not. I'm iffy okay with the level of magic on Once Upon a Time, but turned off Alice in Wonderland 20 minutes into the pilot episode due to the level of "dark" magic being used.

    I didn't see Alice in Wonderland. I guess I didn't focus on it, but I'm guessing it wouldn't appeal to you because there is the dark and good to the magic. I'd look for reviews, FT.
