when i was a kid my mum was always enacting illconceived money-saving strategies

for instance, when we wanted frozen yoghurt, which is delicious, mum thought it was too expensive. but. what if i were to purchase regular yoghurt and freeze it at home? delightfully devilish, mother (this makes an inedible brick)

another time i saw her opening cans of tuna in oil to put on like, rice or something. she was draining the oil. i was like, oh, interesting, i like the oil personally. she’s like, oh! well that’ll save money. i went away without knowing what she meant by that

later i come back out and there’s just a glass of oil from tuna cans sitting on the table. she’s like, are you gonna drink that or what
