Recently I had a week at the beach with my mum, sister and 2 1/2 year old nephew. We had a great time swimming, walking, playing in the park and lots of time for chatting and just being together.
One morning mum “desperately” needed coffee so we stopped on the way home from the beach at one of the new cafes; coffee for mum and I, half strength skim hot chocolate (I was almost embarrassed to order this) for my sister and some sort of chocolate milk for Riley. This cost $14.50
The next day we were preparing lunch and thought “a glass of something Sparkling would be nice”. I zoomed across the road to the bottle shop where I was able to buy 2 bottles of a good brand of Australian Sparkling and spend $15. I thought “that’s interesting” almost the same price as yesterdays coffees.
The following day we were being indulgent again – well we were on holidays !! Having been out all day swimming and playing we decided “Icecreams would be nice” Mum, Lisa and I chose our favourites – chocolate coated with almonds etc and these 3 cost $13.50
Hhhmmm our daily treats cost about the same amount of money each day – about $15.00 for coffees, for sparkling wine and for chocolate icecreams (we did only buy 3 icecreams between 4 of us and the previous day there was no Sparling for my nephew).
The question is which is the best value ?? which brought the most pleasure?? which would you choose?? I’m still deciding between the Sparkling and the Icecream
