(This comes with a coke and cookie)
Teabreak
Dessert with Cookie! (from lunch) — $1.50
Dinner

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!
You sure eat alot!
But I am the kuru when it comes to budgeting! I can do $10 for breakfast + lunch + dinner for me n kawa ;P
