\"\"<\/a>I\u2019m not usually one to espouse the bigger is always better<\/em><\/strong> philosophy.<\/p>\n

I prefer shopping at Harvestime over Costco. (I\u2019m definitely not tempted by the idea of saving two dollars by buying 30 rolls of TP only to create a storage problem.)<\/p>\n

I would much rather drive to a destination in sedan than an SUV no matter how many cup holders and electronic device adapters it has. I would sooner go to hear jazz in a little club than go to a stadium event where you\u2019re lucky to see the stage (and probably have to wait in a line to pee).<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t know why I succumbed to the allure of a promotional mailing I got in my in email box last week, but it became high on this past weekend\u2019s list of errands. It was for $5 off a gi-normous bag of dry dog food.<\/p>\n

In the brand I buy, there\u2019s a 4-pound bag and a 24-pound bag. The 24-pound bag already costs much less per ounce than the same product in a smaller package, but buying bulk is not an automatic decision for me.<\/p>\n

I hate the thought of lugging this heavy-duty, handle-less sack that\u2019s always changing shape up the two flights of my winding back stairs then over my kitchen threshold.<\/p>\n

I also don\u2019t like the idea of paying for something in advance of getting pleasure out of the purchase.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t like when the Illinois Tollway wants me to prepay $40 for tolls I don\u2019t need often. (I don\u2019t commute to work.) Even my subscription to the symphony -\u2013 I\u2019m very glad when I enjoy a performance, but I bristle a little bit when I have to shell out cash in June for shows I won\u2019t see until the following April.<\/p>\n

When shopping for myself, I worry about waste. Yes, the giant tub of yogurt costs much less per serving than the small package, but I hate pouring food down the drain or into the garbage because I can\u2019t consume something before it becomes a science project.<\/p>\n

I realized that I might need to look at this in an expanded way; to let go of some hard and fast rules.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m apprehensive about habits that encourage gluttony. If I buy more of something I use, I\u2019m more apt to over-indulge. I\u2019ll fill my plate at a buffet-style restaurant if only to get my money\u2019s worth.<\/p>\n

But I don\u2019t want to be miserly with myself. I don\u2019t want to get myself thinking in terms of scarcity. I don\u2019t want to think that things need to be measured out in very deliberate portions, whatever constitutes just enough<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

I know what it\u2019s like to open my refrigerator door and see only a carton of eggs, a block of cheese, and a bottle of ketchup.<\/p>\n

I remember when I was about to go on an extended vacation in October. I was worried about my dog\u2019s anxiety about being abandoned (which, as a rescue pup, she\u2019s experienced at least once). I had a conversation with a pet communicator a week before my trip.<\/p>\n

I had her explain to India how I will be gone for 12 days, but that she shouldn\u2019t be worried because I would come back. I wanted to let India know that I made arrangements for a friend to stay at my home. I wanted to assure her that her daily schedule shouldn\u2019t change.<\/p>\n

The pet communicator reported India\u2019s response; that my friend was okay but that she would miss me. Then India asked if there would be enough food in my absence for them both.<\/p>\n

I laughed thinking about this because it would be so like India to wonder where her next meal would come from, but I also saw it as a lesson for me \u2013 to be FLEXIBLE, not to feel bound by past decisions or rules of habit.<\/p>\n

It was okay to SUPERSIZE my dog food purchase.<\/p>\n

More is not always better, but not being miserly with myself is important too. I need to remember I don\u2019t have to follow one <\/em><\/strong>rule.<\/p>\n

There may be times when lugging a big bag up my stairs causes me more anxiety than the cost savings is worth. And I need to honor that feeling. But spending less money over a period of time, having ENOUGH for LONGER, has its attractions.<\/p>\n

I need to honor my dominant feeling.<\/p>\n

Having a whole season of kibbles in ready supply for your favorite pooch is no small thing.<\/p>\n
