I had a 5% discount coupon for the supermarket so I made sure I bought all the things on my list.. Pennies maybe but better pennies in my pocket than in theirs !
That is my philosophy with spending/saving, and having enough money for the life I want.
I just got the grocery shop yesterday. January was good training as I still didn't buy a lot. Another incentive was that I detest buying anything that has a big price increase whacked on it. It's happening a lot at the moment as the supermarkets ramp up prices to make their card membership incentives look so good.
If only people realised that you don't get something for nothing and prices will have to rise to pay for the administration and implementation of card schemes. It also helps the rise of 'Big Brother'.

I've had some necessities to buy lately from Amazon, and then scooted a want into the need category - our EA stained a wooden spoon while doing a science experiment with the youngest and that was gonna bug me every time I wanted to bake... The same experiment may have sent food dye into a skillet she used because the dye showed up on my eggs after I'd already washed everything. Blech! That's good enough reason for me to replace those items, though maybe I'll set the stained ones aside for future experiments? Apparently I'm a bit touchy about my kitchen supplies...
I went a little crazy ordering books on Sunday, so no more till April or May, if possible. I will have enough to read already!

As students, my flat mate and I went through a phase of playing with food colourings. Blue mash potatoes, red tea etc

It's not so much staining and certainly not food utensils but I am almost paranoid about really cleaning up after working on my artwork. Some of the paints I use contain cadmium or other poisonous substances. There is really a low level and, particularly with acrylics which have a plastic binder, low chance of harm but I tend to go to town on all places / surfaces which may have been contaminated.

LOL You have the same stain I have. NHS experience.
I don't know but mt latest Master Card bill is over $7000! It looks like I got a bit carried away. The hot tub is in it so that explains a good chunk of it.
