Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is.


i don't like buying food. granted, i love food...i really do...but i don't like buying it. y'see, if i bought something like...an action figure...or a cdrom drive...or a cell phone...it'd still be there when i come back home. but food is to be consumed...and i think it's the consumption aspect of it that i hate. i mean, i love consuming it...but...lord...it'd be better if it was free. sometimes i wonder about how food is actually priced. i know what the pricing strategies are...but they don't really answer the how or why of it all.

i went to jusco just now and this was the tally:-

  1. makimono --- RM 5.88 (88 sen?...how does that work out?)
  2. sushi mix --- RM 8.88 (i think it's auspicious)
  3. maggi 2 minute noodles --- RM 2.50
  4. kellogg's frosties --- RM 6.99 (i swear i saw it as RM 5 when i picked it up)
living life on a budget has taught me that it's not all good. i mean...when i finished the sushi i felt so bad. i was aware that it was significantly costly...hell, i realized that when i picked it up (it apparently wasn't on a 40% discount as always), but i wanted it. i went there just to get it. i suppose that it was worth it.

supposition doesn't justify our actions, i know. but where did all the money go? to my mouth. where all my money goes to. thankfully.
