Well I'm definitely in. I had to do it out of necessity before and while I don't have to anymore there are certainly other bills that would appreciate the savings!

$100.40c last week. I would so love to have a no dollar shopping week. It doesn't seem to happen though.
I'm only just catching up again after emptying the freezer.

I spend about $160 every week, without meat, chicken, fish. Our prices up here are so much dearer because of the freight costs.

Just done a little shop. Yesterday we had frozen baby green beans for dinner, I zapped in microwave & they were delish. I bought more & some other frozen veg in the hope I might save money.

2 aussie farmers & shopping atm $74 but will need a few more things, but am really going to try & say around $100, because we has such a great trip to Singapore.

Obbie you will be biying your HMP b4 u know it

Put your order in Robyn - You'll use and it will make your life easier.
You're a working mum and should have all the labour saving devices necessary.

I will get one soon, but the dealer in Cairns is not interested at all in selling one..

Obbie, can't you contact Stuart who used to be on the forum, I'm sure he could help?

I was of the opinion that the HMP had arrived in Cairns and was about to be delivered? What happened? I don't think there is actually a dealer in Cairns just a contact .

Phone Stewart I say.

Have talked to the contact..

Hopefully you can get one soon Robyn

Hey everyone,

Glad you had a great trip H! Great that you paid for it but being careful x

Just checking in, I spent $96 the week before last, $124 last week and $88.50 this week. I am being so careful with how much meat I use (3 chicken thighs for 4 portions of biriyani would have been 4-5 in the 'old days') Im putting more veg in to bulk things out and by menu planning I am ensuring we have fish every week and at least one vegetarian meal - hopefully 2.

I really cant thank you enough H, Im really enjoying the planning, spending waaaay less time and money in the supermarket, eating better and healthier food. I am cooking a much bigger variety of food as well, making sure I try new recipes all the time which has also been great, I have pulled all my old cook books out to review them, something I have not done for years.

I put the umami paste or garlic paste or lime salt in almost everything so the flavours of what I cook are super enhanced which boosts my cooking confidence also. Its win-win.

Have a great week everyone xx Emma xx
