Phew. I was beginning to think you had a magic pantry.  ;) ;)
May all dairy items in your fridge be of questionable vintage.

You do brilliantly astarra. There are only 2 of us and I spend on average between $100 - $120 a week.

This week I spent $158.39

Well I am averaging it out over weeks & quarters

TOTAL FOR 13 weeks is $2010.16
$670 per month.
Average per week  is $154.62

So when you break it down, it makes you feel better.

2nd quarter starts tomorrow :)

$165 for me.  fairly happy with it though.  Fruit and vege seem quite expensive at the moment, but I'm happy (and able) to pay more.

When one door of happiness closes, another opens, but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one that has been opened for us.
