I had to buy a cake for a coworker or smth, so I went to the best bakery in town and found a nice looking chocolate-vanilla swirl cake. I bought it. It cost 37€. The price really scared me and I thought that there's no way that the cake is THAT good. I brought it to the destination, it was a weird basement/studio type room, there was one person writing smth down. There was some time left before others showed up, but I couldn't stop looking at the cake so I told the girl in the room that I'll just go ahead and try it. She didn't disagree, so I just took a fucking bite right out of the cake. Like I held it with my hand and bit it. And it was literally the tastiest thing I've ever had in my life, pure bliss. So I said "ok this is totally worth its price". Fast forward, I went to the bakery again and asked for the same cake again, this time for me only. I was thinking to myself that even though I shouldn't waste my money like that, it'll be a little treat to lift up my mood. The cashier was a really cute and friendly girl so I felt bad for buying only one item (I think I also didn't want to appear poor???), so I asked her for personal recommendations. She suggested smth but I wasn't interested. Instead, I noticed some caramel glazed donuts, they looked really good so I took 2. The total was over 60€. Once I left the bakery I realized that I just spent TOO much money on some baked dough and sugar, and I got this really intense feeling of regret, disgust and sadness. I thought that I had no self control and that I'm too impulsive with my spendings. I felt really relieved when I woke up lol
