Here are all of my expenses for the last month! Several years ago, I bought a lifetime battery replacement for my watch for about thirty dollars, but the store recently closed their local location. This month, I went to a battery place that I previously used and bought a new lifetime battery replacement for fifty dollars. It was only an extra ten dollars compared to their regular 5-year replacement guarantee. It’s too bad that they didn’t offer a lifetime guarantee when I previously used them. My bulk spending included two loaves of bread, two boxes of cereal, two bags of popcorn kernels, three TV dinners, three cans of vegetables, six packages of frozen vegetables, and twelve bottles of wine.
