How anime is saving me money

Almost. Finished. Writing. Birthday Presents.  I think I've gotten a bit batty writing this story, because I'm starting to name chapters (these names are usually for myself so I can keep track of what each chapter is kind of about) things like "Where did Emron Krampft go?".  But it's almost done now.  It has to be.  After that, it's just about force feeding the chapter to my willing beta who takes it and turns it into something consumable by other people.  Thanks DJ.  I know the job is thankless.

Also, I've started to watch The Devil is a Part-Timer!  which is, if you suspend disbelief, a really cool anime.  It's definitely big on the laughs with some quote unquote touching emotional interludes.  Importantly, it's inspired me to live frugally... well, more frugally than I already am.  So weekly shopping for this week came to a grand total of  $40.70, just less than $20 short of my weekly budget.  It may have been lower, but I wanted to buy a fancy honey instead of run-of-the-mill honey.  And I wanted to buy fresh fish and not frozen/processed.  Does that make me a snob?

More importantly,

WHAT AM I GOING TO DO NOW WITH ESSENTIALLY 20 EXTRA DOLLARS.  WOO HOO.  MAKE IT RAIN!!!!

...I'm probably going to do something boring, like just save it.  :(

For a writer, I'm not really that creative.
