It is I, Narise, but you may now call me the poor British pauper of Sapporo. Not the only one though I'm sure, hence the incorrect use of "the".
Anyway, continuing on with this new theme of my blog according to my last entry, I thought I would inform any such reader of my expenses for the next three weeks.
I have a total of around just over 10,000yen. (Make that around 60 quid or 100 dollars)
This is of course, not including rent or bills. It is the amount I have left after paying those.
At the moment I'm trying to limit my supermarket spending to around ¥2000 a week. I may be poor but I'm still trying to live a somewhat healthy lifestyle, hopefully leading to a beauty building regime, so I try to think about the food that I'm buying.
Which is why I am ever so grateful for the cheapness of soya beans products in Japan. For those of you who are unfamiliar, this includes tofu, natto, soy sauce and soy milk. To any fellow gaijins in Japan - I can already imagine a large majority of you squirming in your seat at the dreaded "n" word. But I myself am a big fan (it helps that I've been eating the stuff since I was able to ever place solid food in my mouth).
In conclusion, soy products are healthy, cheap and especially good for women as it helps the development of female hormones, apparently. And so they are one of my best friends.
I'm looking into more recipes that are cheap and healthy, and are safe to eat at late hours of the day.
I'm planning on updating this blog with a recipes that I found soon, so...stay tuned, folks.
