Shopping for home cooked dinner in Shanghai

| No Comments | No TrackBacks
I clearly have no idea whether I'm an expat or a Chinese. Even my Ayi thought my shopping list was really odd and thought the supermarket was trying to scam me (by a whole £1)! So my first home cooked meal, here is what I bought - in prices converted back to GBP

  • £0.68 - Pork Loin x2 Portions (34p each)
  • £0.34 - Large portion of chinese vegetables, enough for 2 days
  • £0.50 - Garlic, 3 bulbs
  • £0.55 - Large ginger
  • £1.53 - Bottle of oyster sauch
  • £2.15 - Bottle of soy sauce
  • £0.50 - Bottle of oil
  • £0.84 - Two bottles of sports drink (Ayi thought it was expensive water)
  • £4.50 - Bottle of Ariel liquid
So really, my home cooked dinner tonight cost roughly... 75p!

I couldn't wash my clothes for that price.
