Autumn or winter

Fell into an impromptu debate with swim mate about seasons. I was sure it's winter already but she said we are still in autumn. Okay.... if you quarter the calendar evenly, then we are at the tail end of autumn. But look at the crazy temperature. ... tell me this is not winter.
Mother nature has her own schedule but this winter is pretty full on judging from current trend. Luckily my poor car is in the garage now and happier I am sure. No more frosty car to thaw, only frosty breathe.
I have also taken out my little heater and turned it on last night instead of my big heater. I guess electricity will go up for me these 3 months sigh
Was trying to promote saving money via home cooked food and Cousin was curious about my a-week-same meal strategy and I showed her this is my weekday meal of stir fry celery with water chestnut + mushrooms and steamed mince pork with pickled lettuce. 

The first thing she said was your celery already turned colour. I guess some compromise is inevitable. Who doesn't want freshly prepared meals everyday.
Quite hard to comprehend when you are used to eating out. But then one has to do what one has to do.
 What are willing to sacrifice to achieve your objective?
