To prepare for the worst economic recession in 30 years, one should be learning how to cook, practicing your best pick up lines, ( 2 can eat as cheaply as 1), refrain from getting Disney mania, and avoid beds with electrical activity, ( one needs a good nights sleep for productivity), watch out for stores providing free sausages, keep tipping to a minimum, if all else fails try not to whine about it.

Topic? i am not sure there is one, more a game of fitting unrelated things together :smile:

Where is the chili in this thread, Woolie? My pantry and cupboards are full of chili relishes, salsas, etc. Can't live without them...

For a cheap meal i made a paste of mixed chilis, spread them on toast and topped with strong cheese then grilled it.
I am still seaching for a cheap (red hot) snack.

My wife and I just had cheeseburgers. Dressed with garlicky chili relish, yellow mustard, and Annie's Naturals ketchup. Mmmm.
