TIFU by accidentally spending $95 because I can't say no.

This is gonna sound might sound like a humble brag story but I know 100% that I was the dumbass here. It did end up having a good outcome but it doesn't mean I'm not an idiot.

So a little earlier today, I went out (read dragged out, not religious) by my grandmother to attend church this morning. They usually hang out with their friends afterwards so we drive separately. So after it was over, I eagerly hopped into my car and drove over to Krogers for some shitty sushi cause why not. When I was driving into the parking lot, I saw a mother and her son begging on the side for money for food and rent. This is when I go up to them and say 'I don't have any cash, but there is a grocery store right there, do you need me to get you anything?'

This is where the fuck-up comes in. The boy (probably like 13-14) eagerly asks if he can go into the store with me, and me, being the sensitive idiot I am agreed.

I really did try to manage what was put into the cart, making sure it wasn't too expensive or excesive cause I am by no means rich. I am a broke ass college student living with their grandparents. But I just had such a hard time saying no to that face.

And I paid for it. $95.06 to be exact. That was about a week's worth of pay for me that I ended up giving away.

I gave away damn near $100 to people I didn't even know.

I can't even be mad at them; people gotta eat and prices are insane in this hellscape of an economy. And honestly, the happiness I saw on the mother's face almost made me forget how much I spent. But also that was 95-fucking-dollars just gone in one day. I know it was for a good reason but goddamn do I feel dumb. Fml

Tl;dr: got asked to pay for a begging family's groceries, ended up paying $95.
