Wasting Money

 Following a blog I wrote called The Curse of Frugality, I got some advice from members of my family about some good ways to waste money. Granddaughter Ellen told me that she had spent $50 on nail polish--for a gift-- $70 on a long dress she didn't know where or when she'd wear it, and something called an adventure picnic where she hired a company to contact restaurants and order take out meals, then sends the recipient clues that when solved reveal the name of the restaurants. Then you walk around and pick up the food that has been ordered. 

Another g.daughter thought a Halloween costume for her dog might be a good idea. This is a special dog--purchase price: $1, 500! 

...and more... Go to Hawaii. Buy a Halloween costume for your dog. Order 6 bagels instead of one because ordering one makes you feel like a loser.
