LUNCH MONEY.

In an effort to be more recession-friendly, I have tried to omit the purchase of lunch during the work day. Thus, I need to occupy my lunch break with things other then paying for salads. Which has led to a very possibly devastating new diversion: shopping.

This past Monday, I grabbed a Balance bar from my desk and headed out to NOT-BUY-LUNCH. Instead, I popped into the Louis Vuitton boutique and found myself paying for a new LV passport holder!!!!!nsjegnsljegnlseg WHAT. But I had to. See for yourself:


-PICTURE OMITTED DUE TO ME BEING SCARED OF IDENTITY THEFT-
Gross, awful. OMG, don't you just HATE IT when your passport FLOPS OPEN revealing a HIDEOUS picture of yourself from (not so) many years ago!?!?!? Go ahead, laugh at my passport picture, I am doing this to be ILLUSTRATIVE and to PROVE A POINT.


Now that I have this handy dandy LV PASSPORT HOLDER, I will never be worried about accidentally revealing what I look like without makeup and contacts!!!!! Phew, sigh of relief, we can all face the computer monitor again.


ALSO, buying BEVERAGES is not the same thing as buying LUNCH. Which is why I traversed to my neighborhood Starbucks. There I laid my eyes upon the greenest thing I have ever purchased: a REUSABLE STARBUCKS CUP that looks just like their plastic cold-beverage cups!! Even the STRAW is reusable. It has a resealable twist top and is DOUBLE-insulated to keep your beverages cool and icy. Please note gross, disposable cup hiding shamefully in the back of my picture. At the cost of $14.95, the was the steal of the century. I was able to order ANY BEVERAGE for FREE with my purchase of the reusable cup, so of course I chose an iced black-tea soy latte, which has a face value of around $5. So IN ACTUALITY, my cup was only $10!!!!

ANNNNNND, every time I bring in my reusable cup I save TEN CENTS on my purchase!!!!. So, if I go to Starbucks only a mere 2,920 more times, my cup AND my passport holder will have paid for itself. Easy.
