$277.97 for the fortnight. We dont need anything else, the boys have heaps for while I am away. That is what I used to spend per week feeding the 3 of us, & now I have fed 6 people over 2 weeks with this amount. $139 per wekk, very happy.

I haven't done my supermarket shopping this week, but I have been to the market. I'm looking at my budget over the fortnight instead of a week again. So far I've spent about $80. I bought more at the market this week as I won't be there next weekend  ;D
My shopping list is getting longer as I'm starting to run out of staples.

Isn't it lovely to look at a stocked - not over stocked freezer. To see what you have and be able to put your hand on what you want, not have to shuffle through a pile of - what the heck is that?
