$100! It is a lot of money, and yet, it is also not a lot of money at all. Where did your last hundred bucks go, Molly McAleer?

$8.17: 82 Market on Melrose. Bottle of pinot grigio (I drank and threw out the bottle, so no specifics are available.)

$4.45: Starbucks on Larchmont. Venti iced old school Americano with 2% milk and a blueberry vanilla Kind Bar.

$46.16: 76 station on La Tijera. Full tank of gas, 20 oz. Diet Coke and a small package of beef jerkey.

$8.50: Smoke City on Melrose. Dunhill cigarettes in the light blue box, two packages of Gushers fruit snacks.
