Not posted before because I always seem to blow myself out of the water . . .  This is a "refill" week . . so some bathroom/household extras, etc. Shopping online today as we're all getting over this bug and that . .  $165 . . . that should be it for the week (I hope!!)

Fantastic Astarra, great feeling.

Well I am feeling very good, even though I spent more than I wanted to this week, $92. DH came shopping on monday which meant lots of bits I wouldnt buy in 1 hit, but never mind. I also stocked up on cereals, vegemite & a few other things. Lollies for the plane & snacks etc.

Well I have averaged my shopping out  over the 18 weeks & it is $102.40 for a weekly average. Great idea Michele.

So happy happy  as that is a huge saving.

This also included a lot of cooking for eb here & also my friend, plus my christmas in July party & buying 30kgs of flour for the goodie bag.

I cant be any happier than this. To achieve this from spending $250-$300 per weeks  is a HUGE improvement.

We all deserve a huge round of applause.

That is so fantastic Hally.

It is a great idea to average the weekly totals out but was Judy's great idea not mine.  :D

today I spent   $150 but i bought coffee, dish washing powder as well, so that was $30 for 2 items.

Freezer is full, 1/2 a beast for us in the next week or 2, so that will help too.

How are you all going.. :) :) :) :)

Aldi is cheapest by far and best for dishwasher stuff if you have one nearby.
