But ya girl can only take so much of that before the inertia becomes suffocating. That\u2019s when I know it\u2019s time to get out the house\u2026 or in my case apartment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This time I opted to head down to San Diego for a day trip. And, since I\u2019m adhering to a serious budget, I decided to up the ante and see if I can spend no more than $20 for food, activities and souvenirs. This $20, of course, did not include the gas it costed to get down there, because c\u2019mon, that would be really pushing it. Then again I guess you could do it if you brought drinks and snacks from home. Gas, by the way, was around $20 roundtrip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that I think about it, I didn\u2019t spend more than $20 for either of my previous day trips, so I\u2019d say my chances of pulling it off are pretty good. Do you think I can do it?

And I also don\u2019t read or buy lots of books. As a matter of fact, I don\u2019t really buy books at all. I get the majority of my books from the library, and manage not to finish most of them even after maxing out my renewals and racking up late fees. I only read 1 book in its entirety in 2020, with a second that I started in 2020 due back at the library tomorrow. Still I love going into bookstores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/shescribe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/TBC-looking-away-this-is-the-one--1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2522\" srcset=\"https:\/\/shirscribe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/TBC-looking-away-this-is-the-one--1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/shirscribe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/TBC-looking-away-this-is-the-one--300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/shirscribe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/TBC-looking-away-this-is-the-one--768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/shirscribe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/TBC-looking-away-this-is-the-one--1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/shirscribe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/TBC-looking-away-this-is-the-one--2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/shirscribe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/TBC-looking-away-this-is-the-one--800x600.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>I have no idea what I&#8217;m looking back at.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>My first choice for this trip was <a href=\"http:\/\/www.verbatim-books.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Verbatim<\/a> (a cool-looking independent bookstore that carries new and used books which would have probably been great for my $20 budget. But alas, it was closed, so I ended up going to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thebookcatapult.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Book Catapult<\/a> instead. It was a nice little store, tucked in a cute little neighborhood. The lady who worked there was really nice, and didn\u2019t correct me when I mispronounced <a href=\"http:\/\/madelinemiller.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Madeline Miller\u2019s<\/a> New York Times bestselling book <em><a href=\"http:\/\/madelinemiller.com\/circe\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Circe<\/a><\/em>.

I only know this because she hesitated a bit to respond when I mentioned it, so I googled it later when I got home and found out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I didn\u2019t have time to think about it too much in the moment, because I had bigger problems on my hands \u2013 nothing was on sale. I was going to have to get creative if I wanted to stay within my $20 budget.

You see, food, for me, is not simply to nourish my body or satisfy hunger. Oh, no. It\u2019s for my enjoyment, my entertainment \u2013 it\u2019s an experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This time, however, I decided to go the old school route and  ask a local . Now before you try this on your next mini-vacay, let me first warn you, if you\u2019re a foodie like me, this is a dangerous game to play, rife with equal opportunity for a scrumptious reward or gagging regrets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For some reason I wanted Mexican food as if I don\u2019t also live in Southern California and Mexican food isn\u2019t on damn near every corner two hours back up the freeway.&nbsp; But it was what I craved so, I asked a local. I told her what I was doing budget-wise and she suggested this place called Sombrero.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"611\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/shescribe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/sombrero-611x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2524\" srcset=\"https:\/\/shirscribe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/sombrero-611x1024.jpg 611w, https:\/\/shirscribe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/sombrero-179x300.jpg 179w, https:\/\/shirscribe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/sombrero-768x1288.jpg 768w, https:\/\/shirscribe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/sombrero-916x1536.jpg 916w, https:\/\/shirscribe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/sombrero-1221x2048.jpg 1221w, https:\/\/shirscribe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/sombrero-800x1341.jpg 800w, https:\/\/shirscribe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/sombrero-scaled.jpg 1527w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 611px) 100vw, 611px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I got there and ordered a two taco combo plate \u2013 one chicken, one carne asada.&nbsp; Right off the bat, the customer service was excellent.

The taste-quotient wasn\u2019t an even exchange for the money I paid. This was a definite regret. I don\u2019t know about you, but as soon as I laid eyes on it I knew before the first bite. I mean can somebody please gift this establishment with a spice rack, \u2018cause when I say this food had no flavor. Well, at least it was edible. The rice and beans were okay I guess \u2013 definitely on the bland side but I like rice and beans. The asada taco was better than the chicken which was crunchy and I didn\u2019t finish it. It also came with an horchata, which was tasty. My biggest regret? It was pretty expensive given my budget and I still had one more purchase to make.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"939\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/shescribe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/sombrero-receipt--939x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2526\" srcset=\"https:\/\/shirscribe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/sombrero-receipt--939x1024.jpg 939w, https:\/\/shirscribe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/sombrero-receipt--275x300.jpg 275w, https:\/\/shirscribe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/sombrero-receipt--768x837.jpg 768w, https:\/\/shirscribe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/sombrero-receipt--1409x1536.jpg 1409w, https:\/\/shirscribe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/sombrero-receipt--1878x2048.jpg 1878w, https:\/\/shirscribe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/sombrero-receipt--800x872.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 939px) 100vw, 939px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Cost: $11.80<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Balance: $3.94<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Let\u2019s Take a Long Walk, Around the Park, Before Dark\u2026or Nah<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"445\" src=\"https:\/\/shescribe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/beige-and-legs-1024x445.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2527\" srcset=\"https:\/\/shirscribe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/beige-and-legs-1024x445.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/shirscribe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/beige-and-legs-300x130.jpg 300w, https:\/\/shirscribe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/beige-and-legs-768x334.jpg 768w, https:\/\/shirscribe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/beige-and-legs-1536x668.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/shirscribe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/beige-and-legs-2048x891.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/shirscribe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/beige-and-legs-800x348.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Just because<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Ah, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.balboapark.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Balboa Park<\/a>.
