Budget Tinola

MISSION:  Cook Tinola for Under 100 


I am not a good cook. It's not because I don't know how, but I don't have the passion for it. But I like cooking tinola because my daughter loves it and it's one of the few dishes that I can cook without hearing a negative comment from my siblings. Lol.

So last Sunday I made tinola for Lunch for under a 100 pesos. I bought half a kilo chicken for 65 pesos, a Knorr chicken cube for 5 pesos, and Magic Sarap for 3 pesos. I already have garlic and onions at home so I didn't buy those; I estimate them for about 5 pesos. The ginger I bought for 5 pesos and I used sayote instead of green papaya. Two pieces of sayote cost me 15 pesos. I didn't use dahon ng sili  and used malunggay leaves instead, which I got for free from the neighbor. All in all the total cost of that dish is 93 pesos! 


MISSION: ACCOMPLISHED

Free Lunch at Basilio's Courtesy of Hit a Bargain!

I consider this year very lucky for me in terms of contests. I've won three online contests so far and got to enjoy really good food because of it. Yesterday I got an email from Hit A Bargain that I won a free Exquisite Lunch at Basilio's!  I was like WOW! Many thanks to the people behind Hit A Bargain and Basilio's! I am sure going to enjoy eating the Seafood Chowder with Grilled Dory Fish, Tomato Rice and Cheese Fonduta!


I wasn't sure I'd win this contest since I've read some other entries and they are very good. I guess I just got lucky again this time! Hopefully I will win more contests from Hit A Bargain and I suggest that you guys join their contests, too. It's a fun and simple way of enjoying the good life without spending money except for your fare when claiming prizes! That's life on a budget!
