Was hoping the salmon shop would be open yesterday as DH was in the area late afternoon but they were shut all day for Anzac Day according to the website.  Want to check it out soon though. Thanks for the location info Wonder.

Agree on holiday maybe budget should be $100/day  :)

Well done Hally, you are going great. Does the $92.68 include the Aussie Farmers? We were ordering through them for a while but I found it quite expensive.

Aus far $13.24 & $43.65 & $8.60, middle one is veg & fruit. I try & buy the boxes as they are much better value.

Dont forget I dont include meat :)

My pantry is so full, and all my freezers, so hopefully a cheap week next week for us.

I am still doing this but just haven't posted.  Mostly good.  This week Farmers  market swap.  This should mean no need to go to super market.   Thanks Hally for keeping us going.

Well donee chookie, it really does make a difference to the bank account, we did a few very expensive meals in singapore funded by our food budget savings :)

We have been doing this early a year :o time flies. I would have saved over $7,000 easy & we still eat like Kings :)

Just done my online order - $132 this week for us  ;D
Might actually be less - I ordered a couple more plastic containers, but they were out of stock last week, so if none have come in, it'll be under $120!!   :o
