I won't admit that mine was over $500. That was for our 4 1/2 weeks away. As we will be home for one of those weeks now, this weeks shopping should be a few veggies only.

$500 divided by 4.5 is only $110 per week Cookie. That's damn good.  :D

$92 food & $60 on non-food (big laundry stock up), didn't realise we had no yeast left so will have to get that & only that 😉

Definitely a big thanks Gert really looking at what I'm buying & it's making a big difference.

Waiting for a home delivery ATM, will be approx $150 (including a box of nappies and other non food items)
Not being able to cook/bake as usual has me definitely spending more :(, which is also making me (& DH) realize just how much money having a Thermomix really saves us  :)

You've done well - the extra few bucks will probably be absorbed in the holiday budget, where we plan for a little extra spending.  ;D

For the first time,  . . I haven't been to the shops since last Friday  . .if I make it through to tomorrow or Saturday, I'll have a $0.00 week!!  First time in the history of mankind!!  May need some milk and some fruit in the next couple of days, but that I can cope with! Thanks to the pantry and freezer thread!! ;) :-*
