Happy Breakfast


Hi friends,

Somebody asked me how I can possibly say my grocery bill can be cheap whilst I shop at Waitrose and buy Duchy’s organic meat. I have never said cheap but I would say that the cost performance of my food bills are pretty good.

Come on, you know what I am doing for living. Off course I think about “investment vs performance” when it comes to money, especially when it is my money. ;-)

This is the shopping on Friday.

And the receipt. It came as £9.78.
OK, the minced meat from Duchy’s could be diabolically priced but it is cost “performance” I am after, not just cheap stuff. 

Talking of cost, this is one of my star buys. These baby leaves come with soil in a planter and lasts for days. It is only £1. Far fresher than the pre-packed salad leaves which don’t last long once you open a bag.

Breakfast this morning.

If rolls are relatively fresh, cut it half and toast them with a frying pan for few minutes. They will be crispy and warm but still soft. Very nice for burger bans. (If you use a toaster or an oven, they will be dry.)

Then spread some mayonnaise and French mustard. Yummy.

The soup was made of chicken stock cube, thinly sliced onion and egg. I know it sounds weird, but trust me it was tasty, extremely easy and quick to make (I even hesitate to use the word “cook” as it was hardly cooking.). I should have taken some photos, but forgot…. Put everything in a soup cup and cook in a microwave oven.

With soya yoghurt & my usual rose & pomegranate cordial. Happy breakfast. Thanks for reading.
