Saving more on your budget, try these suggestions. Cut your tissues in half, reuseable floor rags by cutting old t-shirts and use small amounts of dish soap, and find a bar soap for shaving soap?

You are such a good cook. I am watching from Seattle in the USA. I’m eating cereal at 3 am and you are cooking full meals. 😊 Your meals look so good.

Somewhere in Tokyo there is a vegetable farm stand where you pay what you can afford for fresh vegetables. It would be great for you to find it. It’s 2 minutes from Ebisu station in an alley. Run my Tomoko.

Good job!<br>As a mother of 6 and someone who has cooked for 60 years, I appreciate how you manage your cooking. <br>One thing:<br>You are on such a restrictive diet because of finances-DON’T buy low fat foods. You, as a male, need the extra fat in your diet. It’s not like you are overdoing fat on a regular basis. <br>So, full fat dairy, mayo, etc. much healthier for you.

Thank you for making your videos, I love watching them. Have you ever thought about making an e-cookbook with your tips and recipes and selling them?

I hope this small token of friendship may help stretch your budget just a little bit further. You are certainly skilled at making your budget stretch to last from one payday to the next. I am sorry you had to return to Tokyo, I am sure your money would last longer in a rural area and I think you nay miss the company of your dogs and family too. Take care and stay well. 😁
