I have now gone into a deep depression, as I have just properly realised what I am going to have to do, when I buy something expensive.!!!!
Back in England, I put most thing s through my company, or gave myself a bonus, never thought twice about it.We had a joint account for bills then the rest of our money was our own.
I used to spend obscene money on shoes, butI also paid for all the holidays etc.
Fortunately at the moment it is not an issue, the recession has taken care of that, but eventually I hope we will come through the other side.Then I am going to have to take some of my own advice.
However as my husband took nearly a week to notice I had gone from brunette to blond, I am not expecting too much of a problem.
My mom had a great trick. She would save dry cleaning bags, and anything new she was hiding for a while, she would put in the drycleaning bag.Then when she wanted to wear it, she would get changed and deliberately let my father see her taking it out of the dry cleaners bag. The inference being it could not possibly be new.!!!!
I love the middle one which I think was the $600 one.
Which going along with Keldas' suggestion is $1 a day for ------- days. However I bet you collect about that amount a day in small change I know I do.
I use the opposite analogy with my husband and the supermarket.If just half our staff take a soda a day without paying and they do I have seen them.Then that works out to $70 a week which is $3600 per year,which equates to about $1500 nett straight out of our pockets.
How scary is that, and that is based on just one soda by only half our staff. Once you start adding in Tbones and Filets, new york strip etc it truly is mind boggling.
Anyway back to the shirts, just save all your small change and you will be amazed.
