I bought four whole frozen chickens today, taking advantage of a promo
at Price Chopper to stock up on ingredients for chicken adobo, chicken
adobo, and oh! more chicken adobo. I also gave in to the temptation to
get a large resealable bag of frozen chicken nuggets, and I ventured
into the world of frozen vegetables (which are much easier to manage
than fresh ones).

I have come to the conclusion that I need to drastically rethink my
budget, and quite possibly impose a (temporary) moratorium on buying
books while I sort out my finances again. Pfft.
