[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most of mine are food related:

EVERYONE gets a drink at a restaurant. Kids want a Shirley Temple? Fine. Get a refill!

We don’t often WANT it, but dessert is an option that’s always on the table. Same with appetizers.

I will splurge on expensive spaghetti sauce and nicer pasta. I buy REAL Parmesan. I spend a small fortune on good EVOO. We buy the expensive ice cream. We eat some form of meat almost every single day. I buy giant roasts or steaks for the weekend. Quality cheeses, fancy crackers, nice cured meats. Things like that.

But I also panic like you about “worst case scenarios”. I have a number I like to keep in savings and I panic if something take us below it. [/quote]

We were separated at birth.

My dad used to stretch salad dressing but putting a few tablespoons of tap water in the bottle just as it was getting empty. He'd shake it up and pretend it was still good. My kids won't ever have diluted dressing.[/quote]

+1 I won’t ever have diluted dish detergent. I will however put bread in the freezer [/quote]
