300 bucks for Toronto

On a recent trip back to Toronto. I set aside $300 for all costs because I know with Toronto the problem is not the cost of items, if you look well you will find a deal. Its just so much stuff to spend on. It is a whole new expense problem. In smaller cities its probably the cost but there its the fact that if you don't cap your budget you will buy till infinity and not stop.
For instance I went looking for jeans, we went into FCUK which had sales so the jeans were in the $80's, we went into guess and their jeans were in the 70's. My thighs were too big for those designs ( i'm not a skinny guy with no bum, I'm an ex-footballer, 36" waist and thighs that fit in a 40" leg.) We decided to go into Holt Renfrews and boy, I could spend 5,000 in there and come out with a pair of jeans. So it was a good idea to cap my spending.
The same applies to eating I could easily purchase a $3.00 pizza meal at the dominion or I could go and spend $30 a plate at club met for a well cooked meal that from experience would satify me as much as a pizza. I could do $50 at Sassafraz for a meal that barely satisfies but hey who cares I'm sitting in one of Yorkville's finest rubbing shoulders with the stiff nosed sort . Price is nothing, if my charm works well I could bag myself a lady who has enough credit for both of us. Lol. How about the CN tower where a friend spent $300 for a 3 course meal.
I know this is random but my point is good thing I capped my spending else today, a week after, I'd be asking so... what happened to all that money?
