Happy Friday everyone! Our first week of classes is done! For this week’s episode of crazy things that happen in New York we are going to talk about money. I know everyone knows that New York City is an expensive place to live. And I was prepared and ready for the change. Or so I thought. Apparently I am a frugal old lady at heart… and there have been a couple heart attack scares.
Exhibit A:
NY: $1.89
TX: $0.89
This was the first time I thought to myself, wait I know exactly how much that costs at home and that is a WHOLE DOLLAR MORE! It was a hard moment.
The real kicker came though when I schlepped downtown 98 blocks to Gap to replenish my body spray supply.
NY: $9.50 (small bottle)
TX: $5.95 (small bottle)
I almost cried. How am I supposed to smell fresh and floral-y? I might as well buy Chanel No. 5 for that price.
Oh NOES! Maybe you can get your bodyspray online? Ebay? In bulk? LOL. Chanel costs way more than $10, though… just sayin’ 😉 The perfume I get is like $30 for a 1.7oz bottle… it is NOT Chanel.
Maybe you can get a COSTCO membership and buy canned ravioli in bulk?
