Vending machines are brilliant.  They are brilliant for the people who own them and horrible for the people who use them.  Snacks and drinks from vending machines are such a ripoff, yet we all buy from them simply because they are so convenient.

But I’m beginning to realize that it is sooo expensive when it adds up.  Even though I KNOW I’m not getting a good deal, I still buy something.  Almost everyday, yes, I said EVERYDAY, I buy a soda from the vending machine for lunch.  That’s $0.65, 5 days a week, which is equivalent to $3.25 a week for 5 sodas.  I could go to the market and buy a 12 pack for that price.  But I don’t.  Why?

Well, everytime I go into the market and I don’t see the soda on sale for at least under $3.50, I don’t buy it.  I don’t buy it because I think its expensive.  But silly me, as long as the price for one soda is cheaper than $0.65 than its worth it!

Note to self: buy soda from the market.
