Anyone want to join me on my $100 per week food challenge

Sure you can ES.
I am almost out of bread flour  but have 45 rolls and about 5 loaves in freezer so should get another two to 3 weeks before ordering £30.00 to get free delivery.
I have also got an Aldi pack of bread flour to try. If that is ok I may put off ordering from my favourite mill. Seems silly to order in bulk if we might move?! But I do love unbleached flour best.

I have been to the market today, and I have come close to my $140 budget. So far I have spent $143, and I still need to buy bread this week as my oven is broken . This is despite spending $27 on some fresh salmon, $9 for 4 big fat free range chicken sausages.

busted this week $250..

[astarra]

Same Obbie - way over budget this week...$192. 

[EmeraldSue]

Obbie & Astarra, some weeks are just like that
Start afresh next week.
I spent $4.20 on a wholemeal grain loaf from the bakery this morning, so I am still under $150' but still over budget

[Halex]

Mmmnnn naughty naughty Hally, its day 2 & I am around $100

Bought 3 philly products to get free cookbook, 5 ol el passo boxes for quick holiday meals (1/2 price) great when we are away. 24 cans of diet coke, laege jar of coffee, plus my list

It must be the time of year I think
Last week I shopped for the fortnight although I will have to get more fruit,veg and milk and I was over too  by $50

[judydawn]

It's going to get harder as the weeks lead up to Christmas, better to pick up extra ingredients each week than leave it too late and cop a huge bill.  Those making hampers know it is not a cheap exercise but if we have been good during the rest of the year, the yearly total will even out OK.

[Halex]

I havent added up, but I know so far I am around $150 & now I have just bought Teninas new book, i have more ingredients to buy oh well its just going to be one of those weeks.

I went over this week because I stupidly forgot to cancel my Aussie Farmers fruit & veg order. Came in at $145, would have been just under at $119 without the F&V, most of which I didn't need. Still, I was way under last week so I guess it all evens out!

[thermo18]

Well I am under by about $50 so really happy, but from now on till Christmas I will be stocking up for hampers etc, so this might be the only time I will be under till Christmas. But will still be thinking do I really need this when putting things in the trolley, this is one thing that this has taught me and I will not go back to how I shopped before starting this, so thank you H you have changed the way I shopped for the better

I started to shop at WW online last week, saves me 1 1/2-2 hours Time each week. 
and saving me fuel to go shopping too.

They also give you more than you've asked for. If, for example, you order the 300g of lamb chops, they normally give you about 450-500g but will only charge you for 300g.

Off to the shops again, sigh. Will do the tally later
