Coffee 88 Orchard $4.00
Empanada sampler and black beans and rice
Havana Central $13.00
American Spirit Cigs $7.50
Metro Card $6.00
Vietnamese Beef Pancake $1.50

On Wednesday morning I only had a $20 bill, nothing smaller and the girl working the register at 88 Orchard couldn't break it, so she gave me my coffee and told me to pay her the next time I came in...She knows I'm in there every morning, so I paid her right away. I've been wanting to try saving money by eating in, or packing a lunch to work, but how do I resist a fantastic Cuban lunch from Havana Central, and the peer pressure from work mates to order it? So there went $13.00...I've realized it's hard for me to feel bad about spending money on food and movies, i love them both so much.
It was my second Vietnamse Beef Pancake from Dumpling House on Elderidge this week, I can't get over how filling and delicious it is for just $1.50.
