Money to spend, what to buy?! :D
posted by Mon1 on Thu, 2010-01-07 22:20
So I've got a cheque for £50 coming through from YouGov (yay!) and I'm wondering what to spend it on.
I've been thinking of getting a rice cooker, and want the Sanyo one which is about £87 at the moment. Or I could get loads of little things like a huge bag of rice, bento accessories and food stuff....or I could splurge and get some bento boxes from casabento. So any suggestions? :D

I might do a bit of both. Save most of it for the rice cooker, and use a little find a fun bento box or the like to help tide you over. ;)

A bento box from casa bento alone including shipping might come up to about £30 which is more than half of the money gone hehe :( So I don't think I'll go down that route. I'm still deciding because I mean, I could get a lot of groceries and accessories from japan centre, things I've wanted to buy for ages,and then save for the rice cooker another time. The one I've got is still working, but it might die any day (it was a hand me down). Hmmm...
