Justified spending?

This isn't very DFW but I spent £1.39 on 4 packs of biscuits and a big chocolate bar...:rolleyes:
My question is... as I'm buying said biscuits and chocolate to feed my pregnancy cravings surely this can be classed as essential spending and so be ok DFW-wise?
I would have made my own money-saving-old-styleee but I need them NOOOOOOOOOOWWWW.....!
LOL. Dread to think what the woman at the til thought as I didn't buy anything else except biscuits and choccie!
The joys of pregnancy eh?

Thats not a bad price for 4 packs of biscuits and big bar of chocolate - I take it they were on bogof and weren't brand names lol
When I was pregnant, I craved McDs chocolate milkshake and would go out of my way to take a detour there, and if anyone asked me if there was anything I wanted at the shops, they'd have to queue for ages at lunchtimes!Proud to be dealing with our debts - We WANT to be debt free DEC 09 :rolleyes:

The chocolate didn't even make it out of tesco car park! Have had 3 digestives to far but am tryiny to make them last longer than the 12 hours the last pack lasted! After those I've got chocolate bourbons, chocolate digestives and rich tea. Total 'Failed Business' Debt £29,043

That made me laugh - I remember it well! I had to explain myself the other week when I bought two bottles of gin - had to explain to the girl that we were making damson gin, not having a quiet night in!If you can't be a good example, be a dire warning
