Almost a year, now I am off...
To market.
My friend asked me if i can cook "sinigang na baboy"(stewed pork in sour broth/soup), as a good friend, you know the answer.
So I went to the market as early as I CAN, I said I CAN and not as possible.
. Getting there earlier means, lesser people, still scaredy cat.
I have my list with me, so that buying won't take long, for lesser possible exposure. But...
Yes, another but is coming...
I saw this edible fern we called "pako", and guess what? You know again what I just did, right? It has been a long time since i ate "pako", and out of curiosity, I did even asked the seller where she get those since I only eat "pako" when i am in Cagayan Valley. I bought three bunches for 50 pesos or more than $1.
Do you buy things or food too that is out of your list because you hadn't have it for a long time?

Yes, I have a tendency to buy one impulse item at least once during a grocery run. I try to avoid doing so, because I understand cash can be limited, but I'm careful.

yes, i know pako (fern) but seldom see them here. and the rare times they are available, mother would turn up her nose if they're not superfresh. after all, they grew up in the province so these things are readily available.

Lately, I have been short on money so I keep to what I really need but if there is anything I really would like and it is on sale I will buy it
