Spontaneity + Laziness = $

Anybody that has known me for any considerable amount of time understands that I truly love food, and also greatly enjoy cooking my own meals. I love trying new dishes. However, I also seek out familiar classics such as gargantuan-sized portions of steaks, sandwiches, burgers, and breakfasts. Since I've been of legal age, I've also throughly enjoyed mixing my own drinks, and buying German-inspired brews for my own consumption at home. If you have ANY sort of economic prowess, you understand that attempting to eat and drink at home is CONSIDERABLY cheaper than doing the same at restaurants and bars. Clearly, going out is definitely a great way of being social and trying new things, and doing so a couple times a week is expected and endorsed. 

Keyword on a couple.

Hi, my name is Jesse Zakshesky, and lately, I've been too lazy to buy groceries. When you combine that with the fact that I get incredibly hungry ALL THE TIME, desperation ensues. This problem usually is escalated when I have had a few of these "drinks" I was talking about above, which lately have been purchased at bars instead of being found in my refrigerator and/or liquor collection. The really sad part is that I've worked part time at a damn grocery store for the past 5 years, so I really can't complain about it being "too far away."

My roommates and close friends challenged me to document, for a week, how much I spend on food and drinks in hopes that I will prove a point to myself about how much money I shell out on a whim. And lucky for you, I'm sharing this data with the public as well. 

Guys, seriously, go to Flemings.

Allow me to elaborate on some of the aforementioned data: 

• Eric and I really, REALLY love Silver Mine Subs.
• The eggnog purchase was completely ridiculous considering that I've never had it before, ever. Luckily, it was amazing and I plan on having a lot more this month.
• The gyros at Parthenon would've never happened had it not been for the over consumption of eggnog/rum a few hours prior.
• Thursday's meal technically was planned. Also, if you live in Madison, try Flemings. Now.
• The grand total could've been A LOT higher considering the fact that I didn't go to any bars this week. Thank you winter. 

If you excuse me, I'm going to go reevaluate my life, probably at a bar, and afterwards at Qdoba.
