cost of grocery

i’ve been eating out a lot more lately, mostly cause meeting up with people, or just lazy, i have to do grocery, then cook, the wash, eating is probably 1/5 of the total time, but eating out isn’t cheap, go anywhere it’s easily 10 bux a person, or maybe in chinese/viet restaurant you can get away with like 7 or 8 bux, and it’s usually me and the gf, so that’s 2x the price

ie. we went to aberdeen food court the other day, and we ordered from the place with super (oily) tasty wings, 6 wings + bowl of noodles + curry fishballs + apple tea = around 16, that’s about the same as going to jap restaurant (ie. torarenbo) and me getting a tenzaru and racquelle getting a lunchbox, but you have to add tax and tips too, OR, the other day we went to meat at bob’s sub, and we shared a 6″ super sub and a poutine = 9.50 – that’s cheaper than 2 meals fastfood (oh and we saw dustin there, he freakin ordered 2 foot long super sub, one for dinner and the other for next day), so it varies

this week we said to go grocery shopping so we can make our mushroom porkchops, so i went to safeway, and since i havn’t gone grocery for a while, i just started to grab bunch of random things – mushrooms, porkchops, found some steak for deals (2 for $7), organic salad, frozen pizza, pasta sauce, breakfast stuff etc, in the end it came up to be about $70, and then yesterday i went to tnt, and i ended up spending another $40 on vegetables, tofu, fish balls, random snacks etc, so that’s like $110 worth of grocery (for 2 people i guess), and this is probably the most i ever spent (i just grab things sometimes, and dont think about it ;/ in the end at least it’s food you’ll eat, not random junk)

now how long is this amount of food is going to last me, more healthy for sure, but that’s also a lot of cooking and cleaning, and doesn’t seem to improve my cooking skills because i always make the same things

i did get these super awesome meiji fran whipps, they look super good

i was just looking at my flickr stats this morning, im no photographer but i like to see which of my pics other people look at, and interesting thing came up, my most popular pics are the 2 pics from tofino, when we’re all posing in our wetsuit – 1 is racquelle / nay / jen posing like charlies angel, the other is all 6 of us posing together

and then i saw in the referrers section number 2 is from aquafans.org, now i have aquafans AND sashafans (from figure skating)

i picked up gears of war 2 on friday after work (unlike someone i know that went at 12:01 am ;p), and i’ve played quite a bit this weekend, it’s a pretty sweet game, much better than the first one, graphics are way better, and it seems a bit easier so far, time to get pwned online when we – me will eric carlo jason + more forms our team ;p

BUT it gives you uber deadly headache after playing more than 2 – 3 hrs, so deadly that i took a 3 hr nap from 8 to 11 last night, and then i couldn’t sleep til almost 2 ;/

so i was looking for one of those super hero drawings on romo’s site earlier, and i’m glad you decided to start your site again

When you buy Phentermine, you are buying one of the most effective weight loss medications on the market. How can we be so confident of this? It has been available for almost fifty years. When you think about it, there can be no better recommendation for the effectiveness of any medication than survival in a competitive market place for so long.

i believe you romo!
