This month is unexpectedly turning out to be a VERY expensive month. The car needed new brakes, servicing and registering. And I need to arrange a video conference for uni (no student discounts, phooey). Just those 2 things mean there'll be no savings this month and we're going to have to be careful. So we're going cheap as chips.
I've just made up the coming week's menu and we're going to eat deliciously with only having to buy mushroom soup, peas, sour cream and a few fruits and veg. And that includes date night!
We're having a date night in, DIY Mexican. We're going to bond over tortilla making (using
this recipe), listen to a little Mexican (thanks to youtube) and generally get all fiesta-ish ;).
I love that even when you have to skimp on spending, life can still be full and luscious. Thanks Mum and Dad for giving me a childhood that instilled in me the notion that life doesn't have to be expensive to be wonderful.
PS Photos have nothing to do with the post, they're just some random favourites of Andrew's.

Enjoy Mexican night. We are starting to have an international night once a month with Nai and Gav. I think our first night will be mexican.
And yes you are right about Mum and Dad being great examples of money saving methods and still having loads of fun.
Have a great day.
