£0.00 Total so far for Project Frugal £13.17. Le Chef continues to go his own way on his extravagant lunches but on the other hand I am particularly frugal.  This is because I am 100% Scottish and Le Chef is only half Scottish.

Wot we bought:

  • nothing, nada, zero.  Except the above, the misbehaving Le Chef.

Wot we should have bought but didn’t:

  • porridge oats

Wot we ate:

  • OJ
  • Cappuccino
  • porridge
  • black coffee (thanks work)
  • free macchiato and free italian biscuit.  Thanks Boss!
  • My lunch was a jamon (that’s Spanish for jam eh .. I mean ham), cheese and lettuce sandwich and three little tomatoes.  Are you noticing a certain pattern to breakfast and lunch?
  • decaf coffee (thanks work)
  • hot chococlate (thanks work)
  • green tea
  • water and lots of it
  • that thing Le Chef made last night has morphed into something else.  There is some chorizo in there now that he found at the back of the fridge and there’s definitely more beans.  The taste is very good now.
  • two polo mints pinched from Le Chef when he wasn’t looking.  I first learned to pinch my papa’s polos when I was only five.

Reflections on frugality

This having others pay for your food and drinks is a great lark. I wonder if I can get it to extend to a huge  plate of free sashimi and 2 free bottles of Asahi.   Free drinks can be hazardous and lead to over indulgence on caffeine.

The porridge problem has not been resolved.  Someone is going to get a smack.
