BOY MATH
Daniel McCafferty has once again demonstrated his world-class financial priorities.
The 31 year-old recently balked at a $60 grocery bill before promptly forking out double that amount on a Friday night session with the boys.
“I just don’t get how groceries are so expensive these days,” McCafferty was overheard saying to his mates at a rundown Christchurch pub, before seamlessly transitioning into, “Yeah, nah, get us another pint of that hazy, bro. May as well make a night of it.”
McCafferty was seen at the checkout of his local Pak’nSave earlier this week, grimacing as the total climbed past $50. After a lengthy internal debate about whether he really needed both bread and milk, he begrudgingly paid the $60, muttering about how “this cost of living crisis is a joke.”
However, just three nights later, McCafferty displayed no such financial hesitation, ordering his third round of craft beers and a $22 portion of fries “for the table” without so much as a second thought.
“I work hard, so I deserve a few cold ones,” he reasoned, despite having earlier rejected a $5 bottle of olive oil as “a bit of a rip-off.”
He then asked the bar staff if he could take out $20 cash for the pokies, adding, “A little flutter once in a while can’t hurt, can it?”
More to come.
