Oh dear, I just added up my market spending, and I've gone over budget again.

I spent $168 this week which included $47 on meat.

I am shopping this morning, have friends over this weekend plus a new foster child. I thought I could keep to budget but am also stocking uo for xmas with a few things.

Will see how it goes.

Last weeks, been too scared to add up, plus I shoud have cancelled my aussie farmers.
Anyway, careless, not menu planning & just a bad week all round, $177.

Ths week must be better

fingers crossed

Really have to get back to menu planning as it does make such a difference.

My budget is going up to $135 per week as of next week as we have eb with us.

DH did the groceries this week...and stayed under budget

I couldn't believe it when he handed me the docket...$85.15.

That is great Astarra, i blew mine.

I must get back to meal planning too. I have had a few things to cater for at work lately. This Wednesday another one. One of the young lasses is getting married, I actually made her wedding invites. It's her last day at work and I'm making afternoon tea for
12 -14 of us.

I haven't been keeping track of the grocery bill

Good idea Michele, you probably wouldn't want to know how high it is

Your nurse friends are lucky to have someone like you who is enjoys cooking.

mcmich · « **Reply #1826 on:** December 10, 2012, 07:23:11 am »

I'm sure DH has has a track of it. He never complains about it or trys to clip my wings.

Have a nice afternoon tea Mich what are you making?

obbie · « **Reply #1828 on:** December 11, 2012, 01:00:35 am »

Great if you can keep it up over chrissie, hard for me at the moment.

I've been reading along here thinking "no way, never going to happen" but finally this week my shopping bill came down a bit. I think I went just slightly crazy when my TMX arrived and bought all kinds of spices and baking ingredients (although I was already a keen home baker, so could have been worse!), so seemed pretty expensive. Plus I did self-cater two parties (birthday party for DD, and our work xmas party), so of course things were high.

So I'm ready to join in I think...
AUD$100 equates to about NZ$125 though, so that might be more realistic. I spent $160 this week, includes everything - meat, vege, cleaning.
Even included quite a few things for xmas hamper ingredients (oreos, chocolate, condensed milk, berries for jam etc)

Aiming for $125 next week then.
