Christmas 2015: Yes, I survived budgeting!
I survived the Christmas holiday! There's many presents, food and err godchildren. Haha. The good thing is I stayed on my target budget so no cray, cray moments for me. Here's the breakdown of my spending that day:
| Christmas Food | Amount |
| Bread | 45 |
| Onions + Baguio Beans | 40 |
| Fish | 85 |
| Breast Chicken Half Kilo | 70 |
| Spring Onions + Sili | 14 |
| Lumpia Wrapper | 40 |
| Carrots + Repolyo | 48 |
| Canton | 60 |
| Jeepney Fare Back & Forth the Wet Market | 30 |
| Ham | FREE |
| Cheese Ball | FREE |
| Novellino White Wine | FREE |
| Desserts (Toblerone, Twinkies, Snickers) | FREE |
| Total: | 432 |
Those items labeled as free are either Christmas gift from the office or goodies from friends. Some of the dishes we prepared are stir fry noodles commonly known as pancit, ham, cheese sticks, fish soup for my dad and bread.
Too bad I didn't take a picture of it because I was too hungry munching the goodies. Haha. We only prepare a few dishes during Christmas day because most of my immediate relatives are all based in Cebu.
For my 11 Godchildren plus extras (yung mga hindi ko inaanak), I only spend about 2,172 pesos for gifts and monetary giveaways! I can say that advance planning pretty early help me to achieve this goal. Hehe.
