Dealing with recessions.

How do you deal with the current recession?

Shop only during sale.

As for those in Dublin, eat only Chicken meat because 1 chicken leg which could feed 3 mouths costs only €0.49. Oh, only if you buy in Asian Food, which takes about 8 minutes walk. But, if you have a bit of an extra €0.20, you need 3 minutes walk to get chicken leg for €0.69. You make your choice. 100 grams of beef, would cost €1.19, which if you calculate, could get you 2 and half chicken leg, which could feed 5 mouths.

Tip number 2, go to Tesco when they are close to closing as the food that will expire the next day will be slashed up to 90% of the price. This is when you buy seafood items at €0.67 when it usually costs €3-4. But the downside is you have to cook them on the same the day, incase it goes bad the next day. So when you want to have an open house, please buy on the last day. Haha.

Tip number 3, I've mentioned it before in my blog, buy 3 for 2 items from the pharmacy. Although sometimes the waiting could cost you bad hairday for weeks, it's worth the wait. You can save more than €10. Please do not wait if you have run out of shampoo or soap. That is so unhygeniec and unethical. This advice works only for hair and beauty products.

And if your company is as generous as mine. Work for 2 years and get free transportation to work! How much do I save? €17.60 a week, which in a month, means I can save €70.40. Wohoo!
The downside? You have to work another extra year with them, just incase you have to pay them back if you resign halfway. Also one less person printing tickets every week, Save the environment yo!

Grab the free cartons of juices/croissants and newspaper that they hand to you at the train station. They are there for a reason.

Check ryanair's website everyday for their super holiday deals. Fly to London for €20 on a weekend. Do not expect first class treatments, their cabin crew are not as pretty and courteous as MAS. Haha.

Open the windows as you will get fresh air and breeze. Save the environment , no need to on the air-condtioner at the office. Plus points, when you need to fart, you don't have to move an inch. Haha

Last but not least, print at the office. Use office pens,highlighters and notepad.
