What are hawker meals? New term to me.

As for spending on food...never a problem for me. I like food and can eat too much, but I don't think about it. I get hungry and I eat:) In my family, I am distinct. The only person I know who feels the way I do about food is my husband. Aren't we lucky? He wants to eat and enjoy his food, but doesn't spend a lot of time anticipating.

As for what I spend...I don't know. One of my kids does the shopping. We could cut back, for sure but except for a weekly takeout at the pizza parlor, we eat at home.

Interesting that you can save so much simply by cutting back on your food budget.
