fructose? what's that?


some synthetic stuff?

Please read 'Mind Your Body' dtd Feb 23, 2012, pg 9 for more information on fructose. My take is for most people in their late 40s onwards, consume less, if not totally avoid, fructose. The reason is quite obvious to most. Also read pg 10 regarding an article on 'Diet soda raises risk of heart trouble.' So, not everything that is 'diet' is good for our health. Living in the 21st century, we have to be even more discerning.

Married people like us will find it hard to measure frugal as a singular experience. It is a combined decision of the couple to decide how much is frugal. So get agreement from your other half on your spending habits will reduce stress even before the "frugal" target gets set. Hehehehehehehehe

Go foodcourt don’t drink anything… save money. Bring own water bottle, go out of foodcourt then drink.

Home cooked food is the best - save :moneyflies: and healthier without those MSG etc. during those days when I don't cook, will dabao - there is one mixed veg stall near my house selling $1.50 for 2 veg; $1.70 for 1veg plus 1 meat and $2 for 2 veg & 1 meat. And yes, we try to bring our own water bottle.

I am by no means frugal but I think I am really not cut out for the high life. DH just treated me to a birthday meal at an expensive Jap restaurant. I got so stressed looking at the menu I told him to do all the ordering. Instead of soaking it all up, all I can think of is how many slabs of Wagyu beef I could have bought for a homecooked shabu shabu with the amount that he paid for the meal we had.
