I have been so _good_ this summer in terms of food. Little to no junk food, and hey, those Slim-Fast things? You'd be surprised at how you don't feel hungry despite the lack of anything solid in your tummy. One of those mid-morning, supper at night, fruit or carrots for snacks, and I'm good to go. I'm going to keep going with that when I get back to college, because it's cheaper than real food and better for me than a steady diet of variations on Hamburger Helper (which is good for one once in a while, but not as a steady diet!) A jumbo-size canister of Slim-Fast is about twenty-five dollars, and there's enough there for two months or so. The expense is the milk to mix it with, and that'll run me *does some math... a litre a day, say 3.20 for a two-litre carton why the hell can I not get 4L bags in NL? makes forty-eight a month... so that's sixty a month, plus bread and sandwich stuff. Cucumbers and carrots on top of that, and apples.

I could actually save money, I think. I've got a good stash of green tea and jasmine tea to drink, and if I cut the cheese down that'll save me a bunch too.

The whole purpose of this is to justify picking up some Double-Stuf Oreos to eat while I read tomorrow. Or possibly a party-size thing of Timbits. Gotta last me the whole book, doncha know, and I reckon about three-and-a-half-four hours or so of reading. It's only six-hundred-and-some-pages, and JKR tends to write a quick read (by which I mean it's not heavy going, not that it's short), so that's doable.
