Drinks

I'm generally more willing to spend on the kids than on myself.  But I draw the line at things which aren't worth it.  Such as overpriced drinks at restaurants.  Say RM40 on food, fine.  When it comes to RM16 on a drink... we can buy half a meal already, this doesn't even fill the tummy, here I have brought water from home if you are thirsty HAHAHA.  Which doesn't sit well with JE as somehow drinks are the first thing she looks for on the menu.

Went out without hubby recently to a relatively-expensive place.  JE pointed to drinks, I said no.  Cue JE being moody for rest of meal.  Sigh.  I did consider giving in, but really didn't want her to take things like overpriced drinks for granted.  Maybe as a treat then ok.

*Grumpy

Anyway she can always order a drink if hubby is around - hubby would order them himself anyway.

Heh heh me gots a drink

Sip sip sip heh heh

Told her we can make 10 drinks like this at home for the same price. HAHAHA.

EDIT: Realised JE is wearing the same shirt on both occasions!

  1. I seldom order drinks at eatery, unless it is included in the set meal or in some kind of drinking session with friends. It's a rip-off for a drink tht costs RM16!

  2. I am mixed about this. If I don't want to be a wet blanket then I will order the RM9 to rm16 drinks because if so hard up for 💰 then just eat at home or eat at coffee shops where drinks are just RM 4 , no need go to fancy cafes.

    1. I agree it's different strokes for different folks. And its MY thinking that paying for well-cooked food is worth it while drinks can easily be made at home. Still.... if it's my money then my way goes!

    2. Some restaurants don't allow drinking own water from your home in the restaurants so how?
