ornoth | Friday Five #46: Math is hard. Let’s go shopping!

I love the people who make up these questions…

Do you like to shop? Why or why not?: Honestly, I would enjoy shopping, if it weren’t for the fact that other people are always shopping at the same time. I just hate having to wade through piles of aimless, slow-walking midgets.
What was the last thing you purchased?: Some tortellini dish, a burger, a Mike’s spiked lemonade, an oatmeal stout, and some “mud pie” dessert thing at Boston Beer Works. If meals don’t count, then a green highlighter, a red Sharpie, and a new DargonZine notebook for 2004.
Do you prefer shopping online or at an actual store? Why?: Depends on the product. Online is generally preferred, but I wouldn’t buy clothes or anything needing fitting online. And there are products which require more research than can be performed online.
Did you get an allowance as a child? How much was it?: Can you remind me again exactly when I was a child? I probably got about five bucks.
What was the last thing you regret purchasing: Lots of things, if by “regret” you mean I wish I hadn’t had to spend the cash on it. Otherwise, probably some horrid chocolate milk that had coconut in it. Might have been Quik brand; I always buy Hershey’s fat free and cut it with plain milk.
