Dinner

Carrot and potato mash, with sautéed mushrooms and kippers.
Before I go on, let me say this was one of my more successful meals of the week. I really enjoyed it. When I thought about it's cost though, I was even happier. Bag of potatoes 25 cents, bag of carrots 39 cents, mushrooms 79 cents, kippers €1.04. Granted I added an egg, some milk, butter and parsley to the whole affair, but effectively that's more than a whole meal for €2.47! Recession busting, how are ye!
