500 peso worth of food for your simple celebration.

Celebrating in a cheaper way?

I would like to share one of my exciting things I've done for our simple celebration. I wasn't even planning to cook or to buy, but as usual, for any celebration, it is normal to have a feast at home. 

It was too late and woke up late as well. So, how did it happen to be cheap?

Carbonara Ingredients

As I've said, I don't have any plans, so I made a quick decision on whatever we could buy near us. 

Some of the ingredients like GARLIC & BASIL is not included in the 500 bill.

And by the way, you could make your dish much simpler than this like removing the ALL-PURPOSE CREAM or reducing a can of MUSHROOM.

This is our pizza we saw nearby. It is from a franchised pizza vendor.

There are plenty of them who sell their own made. Much cheaper than any of the pizza out there.

Pepperoni and Hawaiian Pizza

It's only for ₱55.00 per box. So sad that they ran out of special flavours.

The taste is not that bad compared to our typical pizza liking, though it is still considered a pizza.

 Better to try one these, for you to have an experience and not to expect much on this cute simple snack.

Chocolate Custard Cake

This is a Buy 1 Take 1 cake, a ₱150.00 worth that I bought from a Supermarket. But wait, YES! This cake cannot be bought anytime for our 500 peso budget, Right? Well, It doesn't have to be a large cake for a celebration just to said it was special. 

You can definitely find a ₱150.00 worth of cakes anywhere, and can be found on your local bakery. 

Just remember, it doesn't have to be big and beautiful to celebrate a birthday.

I thought of this was an exciting experience, because, it is so cheap. I was astonished by what I had calculated from all of it, so I shared. And yes! The 2 liter pack of juice was included in my 500 bill. 

Carbonara was a great alternative for Red Sauce Spaghetti and considered way cheaper. But, if you still prefer for Red Sauce, you can just use a canned of CORNED BEEF instead of a ground meat.
Give it a try!

Of course, it would be helpful to lessen your expenses from whatever stock of food/ingredients at your kitchen.

We ate this during Merienda, Simply sharing.  🎂
