previously, whenever I went shopping for groceries, I wouldn't care much about the price of the food. I just bought what I needed. but after this cooking session, it made me realise that even with limited money, it is still possible to cook the dishes I want (eg. by finding cheaper substitutes) This activity def made me reflect and feel guilty about how I used to buy without looking !

Anddd when I heard that we were only allowed to spend 1buck EACH, I was really O.O 'cause 20+bucks was usually the minimum amount I spent at the supermarket buying only the food I need. So yah I was amazeddd when we actually whipped up a complete meal with rice and three dishes !

It's not impossible to cook a meal with little money afterall !
