    Sometimes you're flush and sometimes you're bust, and when you're up, it's never as good as it seems, and when you're down, you never think you'll be up again. But life goes on.
    The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the passion that she shows to the outside world.

    Thank you for your list Michael, but I must say there is more crap that you have brought that I thought you would never buy,
    Luxury hot cross buns LUXURY , biscuits with a S, cake too.
    Where is your pork belly, where is your sausage, your bread, your eggs, tea, coffee, cheese,dripping, and no meat what so ever in your weekly shopping list.
    Yes many things may be brought other weeks instead of cake.
    But really you have brought basic food for one person, I call this just serviving ,
    Maybe all these Goodie's that you are wanting the material things are much more important to you .
    But again I must say what suits some will not suit another.
    Next Friday I will need Butter, Milk, Tea bags, maybe some eggs because like for example what I buy each week lasts possibly two weeks so I don't buy the same every week. End of September last year I bought some frozen Finny haddock I bought three packs from Farmfoods for a total of £10 next week I will be eating the last piece there were six pieces in each pack, so for the next 5 Fridays I will put my list on here, I will need bread next week because three Wholemeal loafs last two weeks and they only cost 0.36 each, I can assure you I do eat well and I won't starve, you see I don't buy Ice cream or anything like that because to me it's a luxury for special occasions in fact I think I've only had Ice cream once since 2014 and that was when we were in Cornwall

    Well like I said what's good for one maybe is not good for another person.
    I could not live the way you live your life ,just like you could not live mine,

    My wife and I spend 130 USD per week at the grocery store.. She just HAS to have her veggies and fruits. That's good to eat healthy, but we have to find some cheaper meals thrown in there. Eggs and rice are our only saviour from having a 200 dollar weekly bill. Haha... Hopefully we will be living in the Phils by next Christmas though..

    Both have 'meals' starting at P50
    However, on average expect to pay between P50-P100 per adult.

    We often have Korean Bimbimbap at P119. It's a good enough amount even for me. Sometimes my wife can't finish hers.

    A pizza is quite expensive here and averages around P350-P400 for a 12" version.
    Personally I like Shakeys best but we don't pizza often.
    Best quality Pizza is probably from S&R shopping or S&R New York Pizza IMHO

    I used to enjoy Chowking but not any more. Just doesn't taste the slightest bit healthy.
    Jollibee spaghetti is OK if you're really hungry.
