Ok, so you all saw that I recently became a Nuffie with Nuffnanger. The competition is either:
- Be the Nuffie that spends $10 in the most creative, interesting or fun way. It is totally up to you what you choose to do with it, you just have to impress the Nuffnang team here with your shopping skills. OR....
- Most frugal Nuffie award. How far can you stretch $10 and what can you make it do?
Let's start where the $10 was spent, Coles:
At first I wanted to SPAM you all with lots and lots of spam, but spam was rather expensive, when you have a $10 budget..
But then I noticed it was Daffodil Day, and every year since my grandpa passed away from cancer in 1997, I support the cause. So I got my daffodils, and my memories and decided to dedicate my $10 challenge to one of the most amazing people that has been part of my life, grandpa.
First of all, this dummy of Curtis Stone scared the bajebus outta me! I was like "... what? is it him? but why would he ... ohhh... it's just a dummy with his face on it".
Luckily, Coles had some good specials, including these 98c crackers!! Bargain:
So what did I get for $10?
A few canned vegetables, crackers and a bottle of Lambrusco. Not sure why I went for these, but thought I could make something pretty arty that you might find at a fancy restaurant. I remember eating all of these these with my grandpa, and well the non-alcoholic Lambrusco was always a treat when growing up because it makes you look like are drinking wine.
And the results:
Some werido beetroot stack thing that I'm not sure even I would eat. Well at least it photographed well, and looks arty.
In loving memory of iron chef grandpa. I miss you every day.

Ooh, it's a dreaded antipastoctopus! Run for your lives!
(also, your Grandpa looks like a real character. I'm sorry xx)
