It’s not what you think, I swear

I bought sunglasses today for $239.45, and I’m going to pay for it out of my Emergency Fund.

Before you go and think I’ve fallen off the frugal wagon, it’s not what you think. I can justify my purchase! I wear glasses pretty much 24/7, so when it gets too sunny out, I’ve been having to wear regular sunglasses … and I’m getting really dizzy and sick walking around with blurry vision. No, I didn’t have to get the fancy Ralph Lauren glasses, but $200 of the cost will be covered by my medical plan, so I figured I might as well get the ones I look best in. Plus, they were 50% off! Once I get the $200 reimbursement, I’ll stick it right back in the EF, and I’ll throw in another $40 just so I’m not cheating myself out of my EF money. And let’s face it, $40 is cheap for a pair of sunglasses as it is, never mind prescription sunglasses.

The BF and I had a coupon for two free lunches, so we hit that up today, and then afterwards we went and watched two IMAX films for free with our annual pass. We had a pretty good Saturday, and the only money we spent was for my sunglasses … well, and for groceries. But that only came to $22 for my share for the week.

It’s so nice out today, so I’m about to go for a walk with my sister, and then come back to watch some NHL playoff action. I hope everyone is having a fabulous weekend as well!
