Hello, dear lotters!
Today I did not have time to write my morning post. I suddendy saw the hour and had to run to the bank before they closed. In my country Banks are open only until 2 PM. And I realized that I had only 10 or 11 days before my departure.
At the Bank I bought dollars to add to my credit card. That amount is the money that I will spend during my vacations. And that includes casino loses (I am realistic), food and souvenirs.
I also went to buy the meds I will need. This evening, I´ll count my pills and finish that.
I ended at a small minimarket where I bought some last minute groceries. It is always more expensive than what I want to buy. Does it happen to you too?

Oh, yes. THings are so expensive now days. But, I want what I want. I buy store brands usually just to save a little.

Today I bought as if money were tokens. I bought a lot of unneeded snacks I don´t usually buy.

I wanted to buy a couple of things at the mini market near the Bank. Finally I came out with a lot of things.

Yeah it happens when time is short, you ended buying things that are expensive because there isn't any big sales yet. Meds prices are fixed. Groceries should be cheaper if buy in bulk. Anyway, how was your trip?

Just like the other night when I really had a Bad headache and had to have a 2 liter bottle of Mountain Dew just for the caffeine, and so we ended up spending almost $4. But sometimes you just have no choice.

That's very early for a bank to be out of service so early. Here the bank is open 9am-5:30pm. But I seldom go to the bank in person because I hate to wait for a long time. Most of the time I take advantage of the online banking and ATM and therefore I don't have to go to the bank often.

I had to buy some dollars. Here you can do whatever you want online as Bank goes. But the doors close at 2PM.

Whenever I go to a dollar store I always end up getting more than I originally planned on getting.

My bank is open until 3 to 4pm. Good thing I don't go there daily and deposit money.

It depends if you stumble upon bargains or sale items at the store.

Their markup is for convenience sake.
Remember to pull away from the casino and to linger at the buffet.
