Money Matters

Just realized that I have spent about $60 unnecessarily, buying things I could bought cheaper elsewhere or things which I had easy access to for free. SIGH.

Like...
Marley and Me - bought it for myself as a treat to watch on my day off, only to find out my brother already had the dvd
Children are from Heaven - had it flown down via Amazon.com, only to find it's easily available in Kinokuniya
Baby Blues Comics #15 - bought it from a small book store, only to find I could have got it from Kinokuniya at a 10% discount
Baby Einstein dvd - only to find my mother has three of these, given to her free of charge from a happy salesman in Bali!

So what does one do? One does not 'cry over spilt milk' {what would one do without cliches?} one moves on, resolves to be smarter with money, and never tell the hubby these minor details!
