Budget 2013

[concern2]

If my kids are grown up and working, I would enjoy coffee and toast outside. Ya Kun toast is expensive...bread is halved and for that pathetic thin pieces, I feel heartache paying for it.

I would buy a bottle of kaya from bread talk and make my own toast. Food prices are escalating and if we eat out, it's bcos I am tired of routine.
Last Sunday, we ordered pizza...the pan pizza crust is something not easily avail...made our own garlic bread and chicken wings in Air fryer. Satisfying and so much cheaper.

Air fryer not cheap leh...

Air fryer is not used once and thrown away…it can be reused over and over again. Anytime beats paying extra for chicken wings or fries right?

Then my toaster can heat up garlic bread too. This way, I eat in the comfort of my own home, save on car park and petrol. No need to rush. When done, just wrap up in newspaper and throw away. Forgot, drink any soft drinks we like eg coke, 7 up and root beer…so shiok.

You can buy frozen pizza crust from NTUC or Cold Storage. For kids you can use normal sandwich bread. If you like bread like pizza base, you can use gardenia foccacia bread. Get a bottle of pasta sauce, some cheese, ham, mushrooms or whatever toppings you fancy, slather and spread, pop it into the oven for 8-10mins and you have your pizza.

Good idea...thanks. Even cheaper. Focaccia bread. Why didn't I think of that?

It's a new program where we can query Ministers on their Ministry.

Well, here's proof from the latest round of COE bidding that the wealthy weren't the ones driving up COE prices.

I wonder what would this eventually lead to?

Used to eat out wkends, now mostly diy at home.

The toast shrinking, cup of coffee less and less, hardly can keep me awake.

Go eat vegetable rice, vegetables a few strings, meat a few pieces (some sweet and sour pork only few pieces and mostly coated with more flour), need to eat at least 2 meals.

But go supermarket buy things cook, food also not very cheap. Meat like more expensive.

[janet88]

Food is expensive…rent also ex…employee salaries also ex…all add up together, caused the amount served lesser.

When we cook at home, though spices/oil/gas/ingredients not cheap, but importantly home cooked and there is nutrition. Oil used outside is cheap type. So what materials we use at home is known.

Refuse to eat toast outside for a while…pathetic bread halved into thin pieces. Spread with butter and kaya. Might as well I buy gardenia thick bread, pile on kaya at home with cheese. Lagi shiok.
