Nobody's asking you to justify your expenditures, hothead.
You wanted opinions and recommendations and you got them. Then you go and mention how $10 makes or breaks the bank for you at times, so what the hell are we supposed to say? Don't expect all of the opinions here to gel with yours, so if you can't take the heat from other peoples' opinions don't ask for them. And I still stand by my opinion - if not having $3 one day means you don't eat, you have serious financial issues. Does anybody here disagree?
