WW must be feeling the pinch - they have this week box of weetbix for $1 if you spend over $100, the other week it was 20c/l off fuel voucher if you spent over $100..... ;D
:D

Yes, I saw that.I did WW online for yesterday, but if you take out toiletries, shampoo ect, about $150, not bad for us.

I haven't bought much in the way of groceries but we keep taking drives up the Yarra Valley and there are still a lot of berries for sale plus lately beautiful figs.  My freezer is groaning! But we are going to be well stocked for the winter :) off to Spain and France for May and June so trying to keep the budget under control so I have a full wallet for holiday spending. Nothing like a little incentive :)

Jude, you will have a womderful time. Its going to be a grat trip.

Save all your money.

I nearly got pulled into Woolies specials with on line, then thought what am I doing, off to Singapore next week, SAVE YOUR MONEY.

So far spent $53 this week, probably another $20-$30, so should be well under budget. Then next week hoping it will be milk & fruit for school, snacks for the plane & no more.

WW must be quiet this week.

Usually I have to order on Tuesday to get a late sat delivery, but I ordered late on Friday, for Saturday delivery

I have found that the 3 Woolies round me have had a lot of stock missing. Initially I thought it was Easter but it is still the same. I'll be interested to see what it's like tomorrow when I shop.

the WW beans I got on saturday were bad, I rang them and got a refund, and a voucher for the amount as well.
I also emailed them photos, to prove it.

WW smithfield manager, now needs to explain how to HO, how I was sold stuff that should have been in the bin.
