$15

Today I spent $15 on blueberries. Frozen blueberries. I didn't mean to. We went to a Turkish store. I thought they were 5,00TL. Somehow I bought something that was 20,00TL.

Big oops.

I asked JB as we checked out with our five items why it was nearly $30USD. He didn't know. I didn't know. We don't know enough Turkish to explain that we wanted to wait and not buy what we were buying until we figured out why it was so expensive.

So instead, we took our five items home. We looked at the receipt. We discovered that the berries were very expensive.

Dave Ramsey says that's a "stupid tax."

I say they better be some darned good blueberries.

P.S. I really miss berries. Unfortunately I haven't seen fresh ones anywhere around. They aren't local in the market right now. And the Commissary obviously can't get them here in one piece.

P.S.S. We also went to a fast-food restaurant off-Base. I am going to have to learn how to say "ketchup only." Without knowing those words, you are going to have a loaded burger. :)
