Thx h

Hally what does the $135 include as I understand you buy all your meat in bulk.

obbie · « **Reply #2216 on:** July 10, 2013, 01:26:33 am »

we spend about $170 per week, but does include beef, lamb, pork, fish that we buy in bulk.

I cook dinner for 4 adults, 2 kids every night.

You may have to decide what you are going to include in your budget Kim.

I have a budget of $120 per week but it includes everything from the meat, vegies, toiletries and cleaning products.

As long as you're saving money. That was my aim and have cut down considerably since being on the challenge. This last week I spent $53.29c. I'm yet to have a no spend week.

Thx mich.. I just pop to the shops when i need something and dont take much notice of what im spending.. BAd i know.. I was at one stage meal planning but need to get back into a bit of organisation to get the budget under control as im just going a bit crazy .. Not good plus dh and i are wanting to lose the kilos .. Think all this will help

It would have to include all food stuffs but not really cleaning although im making my own so that cost is low anyway.. Def meat as we have little freezer space so no bulk buying..

Halex · « **Reply #2219 on:** July 10, 2013, 12:34:49 pm »

I include all food items apart from my bulk meat. I have had a few 0 spend weeks.
