#marketfriday by @dswigle.


Well, let me start by saying that @felixxx sent me $300 HBD in the recent past to help me out with my winter expenses, and we agreed that I will write a post, if I buy something with the money.

The first thing I have done is to pay the (electricity and gas) bills of the October month, which was 20 000 HUF ($61.27 USD).

I would like to mention that this $300 HBD is a huge help for me, and I am financially going to get through the whole winter with it.

This is why I decided to spend some amount (really a very little) amount of it on some foods and drink, which may be considered as luxury. At least by most people in my country (in Hungary).

The first thing I bought is a hot strawberry drink in the Agóra Bisztró (Bistro). This was two days ago (on 2021.11.24). This is the first time I tried a hot strawberry drink in my life so far. Its taste is similar to a puding, but it is obviously much more liquid than that. And it was some kind of cream on the top of it. Probably whipped cream.

It was 750 HUF ($2.30 USD).

It was delicious and tasty. Felt very good in the cold.

The second thing was today. I went into the San Marzano Pizza today.

They have 19 kinds of Pizzas. I ordered the 17 (San Marzano) with a pepperoni paprika topping. It was 2190 HUF + 300 HUF. I also ordered a cup of coffee (Cappuchino). That was 450 HUF. 2940 HUF in total, which is $9.01 USD.

So I spent $11.31 USD in total this week from the $300 HBD.

Both the Pizza and the Cappuchino was expensive. Especially the Cappuchino. The Pizza was well worth it. It was freshly made and very delicious/tasty. It was so hot that I could barely touch it. And it was spicy, thanks to the pepperoni paprika topping. I like spicy foods.

As you can see on the photo above (and below), they also gave me fork and knife, but I always eat Pizzas barehanded.

The Cappuchino was nothing special for that price. I know a place, where I can buy a Cappuchino for a much cheaper price, for 190 HUF, and that is more. Both in the amount and also in taste.
