RE: What Can You Buy For $10.00 in Your Market Friday?

in Market Friday2 years ago

I didn't buy the cherries for dinner but did buy them. I took a picture of them, showing off what I saw at the store! It is interesting most Indonesians thought it was too much money and the rest of the world is struggling to find things, so it is pretty interesting. I didn't even get to put mine in, my purchase anyway. I was actually up most of the night as one of the pipes in one of the bathrooms burst (seriously bust and was spraying everywhere and flooded a bedroom, walking closet, and the ceiling in the walkway out to the laundry room area of the kitchen and garage; all in less than five minutes.) So I had the mitigating people out there for hours and hours... well into the dark of night, so I was doing MarketFriday until 4 am... and never got my items up that I bought. Pfft. Do you know how I complained about doing it earlier than the night of posting? I think I finally learned my lesson. After 5 years!)

I did make chili with a package of ground meat for $4.99, red kidney beans and pinto beans, tomatoes, and spices, which I had. That is it. A hearty meal for four.

Another is 4 large peppers, stuffed with rice and spices which was $6.50, and watermelon for dessert.

Two cans of tomatoes, seasoning, spaghetti, and hot sausage for right at $10.00 Then used the other half of the leftover watermelon.

I have become the queen of $10.00 meals!

Thank you for dropping your link!

oh oh oh my dear!!!! what a nuisance!!!!! 😮 I hope your rooms haven't been badly damaged by the water. will you have to do repairs to this part of the house? we had something similar. but we were very lucky that it was during the day and at that moment we were at home. the husband managed to quickly turn off the water and call a friend who was able to help with the repair. it's very hard not to sleep at night. I hope you had the opportunity to rest later in the afternoon. wow! you cooked cool menu!!! in the first option, my meat would not fit into the indicated amount, and in the second, I would hardly be able to cram watermelon into 10 dollars either 😁😀

It was a nightmare and the mitigation team ripped out part of a bedroom, kitchen, and garage ceiling and pulled out all the wet insulation. Plus the floor to the bathroom, is a ceramic tile that matches the tub tiles. All in less than ten minutes of water, but, plenty of it.

The mitigation team will be back tomorrow to check the giant dehumidifiers in each of those rooms, plus giant fans. It may be all dried out by then, but, so many more contractors to come.

Oi!!

Your food is very high there, as is everything. I don't know why that surprised me. I guess I had no idea it was so expensive.

What is your best priced meal that you like to prepare?

hummus! 😀 oh oh oh my dear! I wish you much strength to overcome this trouble 😮😞

This too shall pass.
