To be annoyed that DH has just spent £25 on dinner?

We’ve just had our usual Saturday night ‘what shall we have for dinner’ conversation. Me not wanting to cook because I cook every night because I’m home earlier than DH, and DC’s wanting takeaway fish and chip which costs £30 every time. We compromised on fish and chips from the Co-Op round the corner which I can just chuck in the oven.

DH said he’d nip out. He’s just come back from M&S having spent £25 on Gastro fish and chips. I’m sure they’ll taste lovely, but I’m annoyed that he’s spent £25 on 1 dinner. We haven’t really got £25 to spend on 1 dinner and if he was going to spend that, why didn’t he just get takeaway?

Slightly light hearted, but I am annoyed with him.

But much preferable to reheating stuff from M&S.

Calories are cheap, nutrition is expensive…

I met a friend at our local Hungry Horse recently. Haven't been in there for years as the last time it seemed really grubby, sticky carpets and tables and there was also a punch up 🙄

Tried it again reluctantly as friend was keen and I was pleasantly surprised .... two fish and chips, mushy peas ... £11.99!! and the wine was cheap!
