Well even with 2 lots of visitors coming this week, I have still stayed under $100 for this week. So  :D.
Today was $87.98  :D

We too are trying to use all our garden produces ATM...

Last week I spent $141, but this week should come in at $103. I'm hoping that I will come in under budget next week too.
Thanks for the prune recipes Judy- I really need to use them up, and work on using up the food in my cupboards and freezer

My total including aussie farmers is $130.12 for the week, so $15 over budget.

Next week we are away in Kalbarri, prices up there are higher but will what I can do. I am not taking too much this time.

We are going up with the family we went up with  last trip, so we should  all have a great time :)

$86.45c this last week. I'm thrilled. This coming week should be even better. I have lots of veg and a bit of fruit. I do have all the family coming over on Sunday for a belated Australia Day celebration but think I can keep on track for a very good week.

Since DH upped the budget to $120.00 as it includes everything for us I have only gone above $100.00 once.  :D

$106 for me this week, but then discovered our bulk supply of dishwasher tablets is at an end, so got to grab some of those...

I hardly ever come to this thread anymore because Hally has me so disciplined and I do try to emulate Judydawn's frugalness. I rarely ever go over $100 any more and yes, thank goodness wine is not included Jude!

$240 this week. I totally blew it.

But, I did restock my pantry with baking items, and canned veges.  heaps of chicken too.

Glad this does include beer or wine. :)

Jo, I only include food n my tally, and definitely no wine.
I have been to the market today and the supermarket yesterday, so have spent $117 so far. I'm hoping that will be it for the week. :)

Back on track after Xmas and NY.  $74 this week,  and visitors.  Cleaning out freezers was a great help.

I'm doing well.   Last week was $43.45.
So far this week nothing as we had a huge tree fall across our driveway during the storms and have only just managed to clear it away enough to get the car out today. 
It has been very good incentive to clear out my pantry.

Goodness Rosie, that's a big tree.
Maybe we need a tree to fall across the shopping thread?  ;D

That's one way to stop a girl going out to spend money Rosie - better to fall over the driveway than the house or car though.
