Sample tea I got fromĀ teabar. Don’t you love the colors?
In order to save money this year I’m going to:
- Not buy any bento boxes or bento related things anymore until I get a job.
I still have some bento boxes that I haven’t used yet so it’s stupid to buy more when I still have those unused boxes. - Waste less food so that means using up some of the food I have stocked up in my cupboards or throw it away/donate to my parents’ chickens if it’s gotten bad. Again, no use to buy new things if you still have a lot of food around, right?!
- Make my own cookies/cake… more often.Not sure if this it’ll will actually help save money but it’ll sure be healthier for me!
- Eat less meat.
- Make ice tea/tea more often again.
I’m not sure if these are resolutions because I’ve been doing/trying to do most of these things already in 2012. This is just the direction I want to go into with my bentos & blog!
Bentos I made this week:
Rice cracker, mandarin orange, potatoes with herbs, vegetables, mushrooms and garlic flavored sesame seeds.

I see you have unused bento boxes, but if I can help with number 1 on your list… here’s a bento giveaway that I’m hosting: http://veggiebentolove.wordpress.com/2013/01/27/gratitude-and-giveaway/
Thanks for letting me know
. I have a friend who’d love to win a bento box because she’s on a small budget herself, so I will tell her about it too.
