Condiments. Ketchup, mustard, balsamic vinaigrette, mayo, HOT SAUCE, salt, pepper.. Never in my life have I been so consumed by condiments.
DISCLOSURE: I've been "cheating" by using the condiments I already own.
But sometimes you actually can learn from cheating. I realize that if I had actually bought all of these items I would have probably been set back 15 dollars from the start. This got me thinking.. If people really live on this & they want to use these condiments, when do they actually buy them? Do they get them all in one week and eat less that week, or, do they continue to accumulate them through time? If its the second one, am I actually cheating?
Who knew that I would be spending the majority of my day thinking about a little heinz..
Another thing that keeps running through my mind is how gracious people can be. In addition to the coffee that Lily bought me, I was offered half a sandwich yesterday, a munchkin from Dunkin Donuts, and a cookie. While I was inclined to accept the coffee (and I am still taking offers), it felt wrong to accept the food.
As soon as it was offered, my pride set in. I don't need your help- I can do this on my own. But then it occurred to me, can I take things from others without feeling bad about it? Is this similar to what people who are actually in this situation experience? Am I doing this right?
