I'm doing a volunteer food demo for my church this saturday and we're making fudge and chocolate balls. I had to buy all the materials and make up the sample goodie bags earlier this week and I'm going to be reimbursed on Saturday. My last $5 is going to this event to pay for the materials necessary to make a Christmas craft. So I'm now broke and will have $0 for the remainder of the month. So I'm going to cheat a bit and post ahead...ya can't spend what ya ain't got!
