Soda. Used to enjoy a sprite occasionally. I'm just not paying 3 or 4 dollars at this point for sugar water.

Organic vegetables. Maybe the non organic will give me cancer, but dang is the organic expensive… I made soup the other day with fresh mushrooms. Organic would have been 12, the non organic was 4. 🤷♀️.

I used to do mani/pedi twice a month before covid. But now it’s $50 before tip for REGULAR not gel not acrylic and that’s just insane to me. I’m from NYC when I was a kid (im 25) mani/pedi was $15.

Yoga classes used to be $20 a class in my area. They’re now $40 a class. It’s just too much.
