Moved thread from General... this has more to do with C-Store prices than anything else, so here's the best place for the feedback.

btw... I'd probably buy more stuff if the prices were lower, too. Mostly though, I get what I need and they get some of my cash on a regular basis, spread out over time.

Main thing is to set a budget and try to stick to it. Spend $X on zen per month and no more. If you blow through your zen budget that month, you're done buying till the next. If you want something really big, you save up your zen. Resist the impulse to blow $50 a month on zen.
