Quick excuse.

If I’m going to get a free-but-not-free-because-I-paid-for-this-plane-ticket drink . . . I want one with some calories.

Even though I had mostly been avoiding sugary, caffeiney drinks.

It makes no sense. I know.

See my other (much better) 31 Days of Excuses posts.

    It must make sense toe because I do that kind of thing ALL time. It hard to try to be frugal and declutter at the same time.

    Oh Ya! I don’t know how many times I have gained and lost “because it was included in the price….” pounds I have gain and lost and regained over the years.

    So your reasoning is you’re going to take the extra calories even though diet pop is the same price as regular? That one really doesn’t even make sense!

    Hello I am visiting via the Nester’s 31 days series. Your series is so great and leaves me with such happiness.

    I too am participating in the series. My topic is “Decor To Adore~ finding your style”. I would like to invite you to stop by anytime.

    Have a beautiful day and a wonderful fall season.

    Since I’m totally allergic to diet sodas (basically ALL artificial sweeteners for that matter) it makes perfect sense to me. Especially since they’re telling us that juices are just as bad for us as sodas! (I have a hard time believing that one, but hey, I’m not a nutritionist!) Anyway, I guess I’m lucky to be underweight? Although it doesn’t usually FEEL lucky!) At any rate, I don’t have to worry about too MANY calories. (Honestly not trying to make anyone feel bad here. It really ISN’T fun!)

      I’m really shocked no one is pointing out the obvious. The reason for beverages at all, and especially on airplanes, is because you need WATER. Adding sugar doesn’t increase the value, it decreases it.
