Anyone want to join me on my $100 per week food challenge

[mcmich]

Great going Judy - I am yet to achieve a no dollar week.  That's my goal. 

[cookie1]

I only have $0 when we are on holidays. I was under $200 this week so that is good for me. That is inclusive of everything.

I am going to be over again, food is expensive up here $4 for a cucumber etc. we did bring a lot pof bits & pieces with us, so that is certainly helping.

Well done JD

Yay - I did another $0 week last week (finished today! )
and my shopping list is not that long, either! 

[mcmich]

I was under $120 this week - included some sistema containers for DS and fed the crowd at BBQ, so very happy.

[Halex]

Well done everyone.

My total was $148, which isnt too bad for being in Kalbarri. Probably over again this week as we are still up here. Have to get some low weeks in on our return

Mine was $131 without much fruit and veggies as I went to the Spud Shed yesterday. I was very pleased with that.

What's the spud shed Cookie?

[cookie1]

It's a great big shed that sells cheap fruit and vegies. It all started years ago when the owner who is a potato farmer was fighting with the potato marketing board. Here they HAVE to sell their potatoes through them. He wouldn't so he gave them away. He has built this place on Commonwealth land at Jandakot airport so that he can open 24 hours if he wishes. State government rules don't apply to him there. I don't go all year but do when stone fruit is in.

That's so interesting, Cookie. Does he still sell his spuds direct to consumers?

[cookie1]

You can buy them at the Spud Shed BZB. Some of the produce is not of the best quality but if you look round you can get whatever you are looking for. It is very busy.

[mcmich]

How interesting. I love it when it someone stands up to the government. 

[Halex]

I have been a few times, good prices
