Oh Obbie that's sounds like a good plan for seafood (would you share with me?) I love seafood, but it's so expensive for us.

Hi Hally - do those non-dairy items include all your new PC books?? 

(I should talk - I'm a total cookbook tragic!  Just trying to cull a few today - that is such a hard task!! )

[gertbysea]

My food bill  for the week was $36.86.


Pretty good after going over last week.

No they did mot include my new cookbooks LOL, thats another non budget, LOL

It was spinach, potatoes & as a treat for ds as he has just finished all the weetbix, cornflakes.

  

Well done Gert

That's an expensive meal for a counter tea Karen - they must charge like wounded bulls in your area.  A lot of us could feed the family for a week on that amount.

My week ends tomorrow but I topped up today so no more groceries this week. Spent $98.59c. A weekly average of $103.36c. Really pleased with that.

Didn't go so well with the dairy only week and DH requested Nigella's meat loaf for tomorrow nights dinner and I have no meat left in the freezer.

Shopped today.  $99.18.  Couldn't resist 2 packets of Laucke flour on sale,  also large packet of toilet rolls. We are hosting a Birthday party next week so consider this very good.  DH is helping by not loading the basket up with chocolates.

Everyones doing very well. Chookie you came in under budget and hosting a party, you've gotta be happy with that.

Chookie, thats brilliant with a party & your still under budget

Didnt stick to dairy inky, need a few veg. Did anyone manage dairy only?

6 tins 1 dolimio jar this week, yay
How any tins did others get through?

My goal for next week is to match this with tins. The kids will be having spaghetti on toast for lunch one day this weekend

 

[Halex]

My challenge is these 7 tins for this week.
Currys,  minestrone soup, creamed corn for a soup, kids spag on toast for lunch

I had to laugh when my stepdaughter 15yrs and her friends dropped round a few days ago after school. They were wanting to know what was for afternoon tea and I told them they had to eat the two minute noodles. They thought I was joking but they have been in the pantry for ages and no one is eating them. I haven't seen them back this week.
