I made a brave decision earlier this week. I picked
up- A thousand Splendid Suns, The Rescue by Nicholas Sparks and another book by
Doris Lessing- and put them down. I gave myself a thumbs up as I walked away
from the vendor.
They were so cheap. Just KSh 100 each.
But I listened to a savings tips recording by a
bank trainer the other day. He said the one enemy to saving money is spending
more than you earn.
I know
that…in theory.
He asked- do you find yourself buying things when
they are on sale?
-
no, never- I answered mentally.
-
There was a sale by House of Leather last month, I
didn’t go…even though I need a good walking shoe.
Nakumatt is always having offers and I could do
with a small oven
Enka Rasha is having a 60% off this season…they have smart African wear that
could eep me clothed for the next five years.
Haha, but I forgot… I don’t shop there. I shop at Mutindwa—and Muthurwa. And the there is an offer. Every day!
It’s very hard to just walk past a crazed tops
vendor shouting bei fefte!
Or another one calling out mbao! 20bob! Mbao!
So yesterday… I decided to just..have a look. So
good for my bravely.
And I went home feeling very guilty..like you will
of course feel when you buy something
useful which.. you don’t really need. Like a dress to wear to a party-
though most parties I attend in jeans.
But you
never know..I might get invited to a cocktail party in March.
The entire evening I was thinking.. I should be
punished for this…
So I decided to make a very elaborate meal that
took most of the afternoon.
I’ve been meaning to make garlic sauce. My pepper
plant had 8 ripe ones. That, with garlic and ginger, tomatoes and lemon juice,
boiled for fifteen minutes then blended makes an awesome sauce for potatoes.
