$83.04 here, stocking up pantry items.  That still only an average of $34 over the past 3 weeks.

This week a dissater. $219, 7 people for lunch sunday and was out of tea, coffee, nuts, bread flour, and it seems a lot of other things. We have eaten a lot from the freezer and the pantry, Which is why I am surprised it was so high, so hoping that this weeks going to be better.

Made a lovely forrest mushroom soup, the mushrooms cost me $18 >:(

Still tracking the average spend,  $152, so not too bad :)

 :)

$110 this week, I got a couple of things to make some recipes from the Quirky Cooking book but didn't go overboard & lucky I have a lot of the ingredients in my pantry already.

Average spend around $150 is pretty good Hally. I must work mine out as I have been spending around $100-150.  I don't like mushrooms so could never imagine spending $18 but every now & then it's nice to do something special.

$63 this week. Only fresh food and milk as we have so much here that we didn't take to Monkey Mia.
May all dairy items in your fridge be of questionable vintage.
