Most times i have a 'sharing' concept, aka, order variety of food and get small bowls so that everyone eats everything... hence, in a sense, i dont eat left-over food + i still get to eat wat i want!! :celebrate:

hey, this sounds good... I share try to put this in practice have 2 boys, 6 &5 who like totally different foods, so when i make them share 1 XL adult portion, someone will always b picking at the food. but I get so tired of eating leftovers or having to waste unfinished food. Hopefully this will work with them

Was at Holland V during the weekend. Was so tempted to try out the near Ramen shop near to the KATONG LAKSA but one bowl of seafood ramen cost $15 so if 2 pax plus GST would be at around close to $40.


DW says lets just eat Katong Laksa - 2 pax $10 without GST.

ajisen ramen is one of the best and most value for money !!

one thing i noticed on my spending after being mother, is that i spend more and willing to spend on food than before… before being a parent, i always feel wat for eat so expensive food , ultimately, all these intake will be waste product in a matter of 24 hours… haaa…


so, now with the conscious mind of wanting to give the best food and healthy food for my kids, i dun bat an eyelid when pay for cod fish/salmon… last time i will complaint how expensive they are… haaa…

yes, will go for better quality food and plenty of fruits and vegetables too. usually dh and i would eat the overnite food for lunch and cook a fresh batch for kids.

I tried to save a little. Inspired by this cooking show I saw on cable, I decided to buy whole chicken instead of pre-packed parts, like fillet and breast meat. Showed my helper how to debone the chicken and get the different parts and still have the carcass to make into soup stock.


Lasted me 2 marketing trips and I am back to the convenience of buying pre-packed parts. :razz: My helper went back to the habit of chopping up the whole chicken and cooking it bones and all in 1 dish. And I find it too tedious as well. Moreover, in asian cooking we tend to cook the chicken with bones on.

Hi all, I just turned a SAHM last month. Let's just say that while I am totally happy to be with my kids (DS 8, DD 21mths old), I am also trying not to miss my salary. Ever since DD started eating solid food, we've been eating at restaurants every weekend because we need a high chair. I dare not calculate how much $ we spent at restaurants but just today, DS, DD & I had lunch at Sushi Tei and easily spent $50


My marketing is still alright. It's the eating out that is the killer. :nailbite:

Will be most grateful if anyone can share if the Home Budget app for iPhone is useful.
