A thread to discuss My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic and the tie-in media.
All of the usual forum rules
apply. In addition, please remember that the thread is discussing a kids' show, and it's primarily focused on the work itself, not the fanfic — in particular, we don't want to see lewdness creeping in.

You have to spend some money on food though don't you? You can get food more cheaply from a grocery store, but it still costs money.
Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's PlayI spend about 30-60 bucks a week on groceries, and that's usually enough to get me through, though I tend to give myself a 20 dollar emergency food budget as well. Since skimping on food sucks the big one.
Birthright: an original web novel about Dragons, the Burdens of Leadership, and Mangoes.I've always wondered why people like horses in real life. They're really smelly.
Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's PlayStory- that's the problem though. I still live at home. Mom buys all the real food (though once in a while I'll buy some mixed nuts instead of absolute crap). I'm just buying snacks because I have money and junk food is tasty. And it has to stop because it's killing my budget and it'll start affecting my health if I'm not careful.
Making minimum wage, rounded down to 8 bucks after taxes (because I don't have a clue what the real amount is), averaging 21 hours per week, my income is 672 dollars per month. I spend 255 per month on loan payments, and about 80 on gas (probably less during the summer because my brother is home and he'll pay for gas half the time). That leaves me with 337 bucks of actual income.
And I am spending almost all of it on crap.
http://h0useb0und.tumblr.com/I think real life horses are cute, but do agree that the smell is pretty off-putting. Granted, it's a general barnyard smell, so I think people who are just used to dealing with animals eventually stop noticing it, therefore making it a non-factor.
FE: New Mystery Only Feet 7PM PT Sun, Mon, Fri; Umamusume Haru Arima 7PM PT Wed, Thurs: http://www.twitch.tv/kuroitsubasatenshiYeah, you definitely need to stop spending so much on junk food. Habits are hard to break though. I'd suggest trying to avoid the places where you usually buy junk food until you get out of the habit.
P.S. Been listening to the Otomedius Excellent soundtrack. It's pretty nice, though some songs are too repetitive.

Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's PlayCutting down isn't easy, definitely. But if you're eating that much, then yeah, you'd better nip that in the bud.
Visit my Tumblr! I may say things. The Bureau ProjectAnother good cost saving measure is to always get water (tap, not bottled of course) when eating out. Plus it's healthier.

Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's PlayI buy most of my junk food at work.
Yeah.
But, now that I have some perspective on it, I think it'll be an easy fix. "Holy shit, I am throwing all my money away on this garbage" is a good reason to not buy garbage.

XP granted for befriending a giant magical spider!

@Kuroi: When the 4DE Luna comes out, I'll be very hard pressed not to buy it.
