My Weekend

As I have mentioned before I went to have lunch with family. It was really nice being together and having a fulfilling meal. We went to an all you can eat sushi restaurant and spent 2,5 hours sitting, eating, chatting and drinking. 

In another post I told that I don't like to eat out because the saltiness of the food. But with sushi the chef doesn't need to add salt to it. The warm dishes like tempura may have been fried but they always put paper napkins under to absorb the excess oil. But the sauce they use on the fried vegetables is always too salty. 

Before we went to stuff ourselves we went shopping, looking for baby outfits. Looking for gifts is a real job. And finally paying the items was kinda strange. Our city is trying to cut back on plastic bags. It revolves in: the customer has to pay for a clumsy and ugly plastic bag and also helping them advertise. At the cash register the cashier was really friendly in asking. I always bring my recyclable bag with me but it not always that clean. So I asked her if she could wrap it in gift paper or blotter. She eventually showed me a paper bag. Of course everything nowadays cost money so I asked her what it cost. Turns out it's free of charge. 
Another lesson learned in real life. Always ask whenever your not sure. I was really happy but my mother was even happier. Now she didn't need to buy or get a gift bag. 

Most of the supermarket deals always end on Saturday. It always revolves in I buying the product really last-minute. So after the lunch which ended around 14.40 I had to haste myself to the supermarket. Coming back home around 17.30 I was really tired. I hit the bed and fell asleep until one of my "sweet" siblings woke me up to find the nail clipper. Family, I love them but sometimes I just want to strangle some of them.

Weekends are really great to spend time with family and making last minute deals. I really dislike the fact I have to pay for plastic bags. I always use those shopping bags as garbage bags. I can not recall ever buying garbage bags cause we always use those shopping bags. We don't have a fancy litter bin but we use a pail those you can get free from any local take out restaurant. You just have to ask and clean the bucket or if your lucky they give you a clean one.

Ask things for free cause one can consider it as trash and will be glad to get rid of it.
