$177 today. I bought fruit and veggies yesterday. This did include 12 chicken breasts and a kilo of bacon as both were on special.

Last 3 weeks have been about $100.  Good to keep an eye on what I spend.  Have been making an effort to use up everything leftover .

Last weeks shop $152.77aagghh. I am finding it really hard to come in at budget atm. This weeks shop isnt looking much better >:( on the positive its still much better than my old shopping days.

Maybe next weeks I will try & live from the fridge, pantry & freezer. That shoud help to bring the average down.

Hows everyone else going?

My shop this week was about $220. That included meat and fruit and veggies as I didn't get to the Spud Shed for the fruit. I felt it was high but we had run out of everything.

Going up again $169.02 & this weeks even higher :o

Going to have to look at a week of eating out of the fridge/freezer & pantry - otherwise my average at the end of March is going to be way too high.

I went out last night bought a drink and it was $8.50. I nearly fell over. I guess it's been that long since I've gone out. :o
