Hi Amila, thanks for the useful tips on food budget. I used to had a very bad habit of buying bakery ingredients and then not using it. After expire I’ve to dispose it off….. not only waste money but its very sinful to throw away food stuff. But had since change my bad habit cos some baking ingredients are way too expensive.

Best regards,
Amelia
