I’m the frugal gourmet

You might be a frugal bitch when:

So I’m driving into work this morning, and there is a good inch of snow on the ground which is melting and turning into ice.  I pull into the parking garage for work and attempt to pull up to the sensor that is suppose to read my parking pass and open the gate so I can pull through…but the fates thought they would toy with my emotions today.  So I’m waving my parking pass like a crazy girl all over my windshield for at least 5 min, when…low and behold someone pulls in behind me now blocking me in.  Yep…stuck.

Finally I decide I am just going to push the button and get a parking ticket so I can pass through the gate and park.  I open my door (since my windows were frozen shut), grab the ticket, shut the door, and proceed to the highlighted route (epic GPS reference ) to park.  Once safely nestled in a parking spot, I went to search for my gloves.  I found one easily in my hand…yes I’m mildly retarded…and couldn’t find the other one anywhere.  Again, after another 5 min, I come to the conclusion it dropped out my door as I was reaching for the parking ticket.

I walk down the 5 flights of stairs to where you enter the garage, pulled some serious Mission Impossible reconnisance work, and low and behold…my glove is resting in a pool of dirty slushy water and has tire tracks on it.

Moment of truth:  To pick up the glove or to not pick up the glove

So I spent a good 30 seconds of mental masturbation debating with myself over whether I should pick up my other glove.  /FRUGAL.  Let’s state facts:

1.  I bought the cheapest pair of gloves from Target I could find that matched my very expensive scarf my mom bought me in Spain…
2.  The price I paid for my pair of gloves…$2.99 (no tax /love DE)
3.  I’ve worn this pair of gloves since October so you can pretty much see my nails through the tips of them
4.  I actually considered picking up this glove so I could wash it and continue wearing it….that’s when you know you are a frugal bitch.

All I can say for myself is…at least I can admit it
