If you had $5 left in your pocket what would you spend it on?

oh wow I actually had that happen one time when I was 25. I broke as dirt had 5 bucks in my pocket and less than 100 dollars in the bank. It was my birthday but nobody remembered. Nobody called, nobody made plans with me nobody remembered.

I was so lonely that day. I walked downtown alone and ran into a homeless person. He asked if I had changed and i reached into my front pocket and realized I had a 5 dolalr bill.. I gave him the 5 as a gift on my birthday figuring he needed it more than I did. I don't remember his name or even what he wore or what he looked like. I remember the street I was on and feeling good about giving him all the cash I had in my pocket. Life got a lot better for me for the record. I was just really alone on my 25th

I was gonna say groceries but I have my pantry and freezer stocked. I'd save it as long as I could and imagine there'd be a need eventually like gas in the car. There was a time when I was young and down to $5 for groceries, it bought a half-gallon of milk, a few packs of wafer-sliced meat, and some other things back then. I made biscuits with the flour I had and chipped-beef gravy, and a few other frugal meals.
