Yeah, we also have a rule that we have to go to a restaurant for birthdays, so that didn't work. It's supposed to be a "special" thing, but we already get fast food twice a week and go to restaurants at least once a month.  I did ask for raspberries, which would have been a "treat" because raspberries are never a good price. Nope, raspberries are "too healthy" to be a treat.
