Spending log, day 11

Low-spend, high-reward day, made possible by previous out-of-control spending (and some more carefully-deliberated purchases). Got my new cell phone activated at the local provider outpost, which happens to be conveniently located a short walk from a Starbucks. In the interest of not wasting gas and enjoying the gorgeous day, I parked in a less busy part of the massive strip mall lot and walked to both, taking pictures with the new phone along the way.

In fact, here’s a picture I took on that little jaunt:

Cell phone activation was free (after 20 years with the same provider, I would’ve certainly balked at the old $20-$30 gouging for a few duly-authorized mouse clicks), and I redeemed a reward for my foofy coffee drink, bring today’s out-of-pocket expenses to $1 (barista tip).
