I went grocery shopping last week. Which means I have to wait another week (for next payday) before I'll be able to pay my rent.

The hardest part is that every time I go to the grocery store, I tell myself, "Okay, just the bare basics. No treats. I have to keep this under $XX amount."

But every time, despite trying to be very careful and only getting the staples for meals, I end up exceeding that amount and have to put things back to stay under.

It never ends. :(
