Cutting out convenience store snacks saved me more than I thought

I used to buy chips and drinks every time I got gas for my car. Now I make sure to pack snacks from home before I leave. This change has saved me about $50 each month. It's a easy habit that really helps my budget.

Oh man, that "sticky mess" line got me. I used to think game stuff was just stuff, you know? But after my group's dog chewed up a character sheet we'd been leveling for months, it hit different. We all felt that loss. Now I get why you all just froze. It's not just paper, it's the story you're building together. Did the hair dryer trick work out okay for the book?
