LESSON 6. MONEY (CONTINUED)
♦ A USEFUL DIET
ОглавлениеI said to myself, «It’s enough!» I have to stock up on1 fruit and vegetables and forget about junk food. I am not going to be on a diet, but I have to avoid rich and fatty products. I won’t skimp on2 healthy foods. I know I splashed out3 on some new clothes for my children last month and ran up a huge bill. They were selling them off4 at half price and I couldn’t help buying. I snapped up a bargain. I know the next day all the clothes were sold out! So I think a lack of money is now a good chance for me to think how to stay in shape and keep fit. I do want to be slim and slender.

3 splash smth out (on) – не жалеть деньги на ч-л., транжирить
