FOOD & Budget

 We never go on vacation or holidays somewhere out of the country because my husband works all the time and he is the Landlord Manager for a 31 unit townhouse which he manages for the past 15 years. We can't leave the work that pays. However,  we never starve ourselves that if you see the kind of food that we have for breakfast, lunch and dinner that seems gourmet that's how the indulgence is.

This time I cooked Malaysian chicken wings. Let's pretend we are in holiday in Malaysia and having that delicious Malaysian chicken wings.

 I love brocollini, my favourite veggies with oyster sauce.

 Perogies with crunchy bacon flakes'  great for lunch and dinner.

Not enough? Having regular pizza with just plain cheese and mozzarella cheese that I have to add slices of ham and shrimps on top. Chicken is not my kind of viand so pizza will do good for me, for my dinner.

For us to have lunch or dinner outside will cost $50.00 at Wendy's or A&W's while it we have dinner at  Moxie's it will cost us $140.00 if we dine in at Chinese Restaurant for (Smorgasbord) $ 17 or $ 19/plate multiply it to 5 (members of the family) = $95 + Beverages = $120

Let say you dine in at the Chinese restaurant for 7 days, ordered from smorgasbord dinner for family of 5. $120 x 7= $840. Wow for 7 days? Only dinner?

Staying at home and cook food according to what's available from the fridge or freezer is the best to conserve and be thrifty? How long a $1,000 worth of groceries will last? Maybe one week or Maybe two weeks of breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Great for big family. For two people, a couple will probably have lots of savings when they dine outside. It wont be costly for them to eat outside. Your choice? My choice! The food on the table is the choice of the Cook.
