    Your biggest "expense" seems to be the $ to your dad...and gas...but you said your company subsidize your gas? For phone, did you consider getting new phone plan? I know that City Telecom has those IP phone that if you add home phone it's like $30 a month and you get home phone + IP home with HK phone number. If you call to HK that's a really good deal.

Those prepackaged meat slices are relatively more expensive tho..
And I don't like buying veggies from T&T.. more $$ and less fresh.

I agree as well. I usually don't get veggies from T&T unless I have to.And sub-ing thin meat slices with onion and bean sprout doesn't work for me/my bf. He will pick and eat all the meat and I will be eating all the bean sprout.
Then he will be hungry again in like 1 hr... @@
eating bread and cereal... even before I finish doing the dishes.

yeah....pre-slice meat is more expensive...but I am lazy...I don't like cutting/chopping as well...so I just buy prepackaged one.

Vegetable I don't buy from T&T....I buy from Aberdeen ...it's quite fresh there.

Lol~~
I don't mind doing thin meat slices with veggies.. I love veggies~ but the prepackaged ones are just more $$ and some of them are frozen.

And I like to 煲老火湯 twice a week, and that could be quite $$ too.. @@

I like aberdeen for vegetables and fruits too. I wish they would close later than 7 though.

yeah old fire soup can get expensive. I like to do it once a week if possible and I don't like the pre-pack ones. I sometimes go look at them to get ideas of what to make and go get my own ingredients. I only get pre-sliced meat when I am in a rush. Otherwise, I prefer to cut the meat and chop my own veggies. I love veggies but my bf eats a lot more than me so the dishes have to cater to his needs.

Whenever he is not home, I will make mix veggie pot with tofu or stir fried veggies with tofu gon. I want to try hide swiss chard in a frittatas dish this weekend and see if he will eat it. LOL
