the scrooge that’s me

I bery happy. Its been 2 weeks that i’ve been spending not more than $10 per day to feed myself. There is an undeniable sense of accomplishment. Bery proud. Here’s an idea of my daily expediture;

Breakfast
Ham & Egg Sandwich at bakery — $1.20

Lunch
Fish Soup with Rice — $3.80

Teabreak
Tou Suan or Black Glutinous Beans — $1.50

Dinner
Famous Seah Street Chicken Rice — $3.00

This is a template I follow when I have to cover 3 meals. If mum prepares breakfast or dinner, I spend the extra allowance to indulge in something more satisfying for lunch;

Lunch
Subway Daily Set Meals! — $4.70
(This comes with a coke and cookie)

Teabreak
Dessert with Cookie! (from lunch) — $1.50

Dinner
Niang Dou Foo (7 items exact!) — $3.30

I could really get use to spending money wisely like this. Imagine all I’ll ever need is less than $300 per month for food. Wah… all the money saved can buy me something nice and still have plenty left for saving. I like the sound of it. Keke.

Today lagi best! Ben & Jerry had their annual FREE CONE DAY! This is a celebratory promotion worldwide! You just show up and get a free cone from their selection of yummy flavours! I had myself a Strawberry Cheesecake ice-cream. Divine! Saved me the cost for dessert! Yay!
