OREOS. OMG I'm about done with that craze... it's this constant "could you get me some oreos please?" with this sweet adorable cheesy look on his face.. It isn't that I don't want to get oreos, but he eats a whole package in one sitting! ([sometimes he stretches it to two ] That's a $4 package of cookies!!!! I told him to enjoy his last pack - we're going on a spending freeze and it isn't included. Although, my luck, that will be the first thing he puts on the "allowed to buy" list.

Just yesterday while i was at work he went to the Butcher/ Deli place about half an hour from here and bought Tbone steaks for supper. Spent $40 in that place alone!! Sure it was nice of him to make me supper but my eyes just about popped out of my head when he told me the price!

He always buys stuff when he comes to the store with me, and likes to spend money on treats for his class etc. He also has expensive tastes for some things. But it's not too bad and I've learned to budget around him.
