love the meat bargains. I love to barter for food too.

This week I will try not going shopping at all.

Well today is the day to try and get back on track......

There are now 4 of us to feed, we have a lovely Japanese lady staying wit us for 3 months, we need to work out a doable budget for 4 adults (yes cp eats like an adult). If its not doable I will give up.

What do others use for 4 people?

I have a pantry full of lots of goodies and freezers packed to the rafters. I have no fresh fruit or veg as we have been away. So I need to stock up in that area.

I've managed a few lean weeks, using the freezer and just buying milk, eggs and veg. Off to the wholefood store today, that's not quite such a lean week LOL.

The last few weeks I have been cutting back my lists to bring it in under $200! Although last week included some booze for the long weekend, but this week didn't and was still $193.

I had a $0 last week, this week I have so far spent $10 - on a 10kg bag of potatoes.

Whew, finally a better week. $112.75

You girls with families are doing really well.
The home grown veggies and fruit have saved me a lot.
Yesterday made 14 jars of Blackberry and Apple jelly. Will give this as hostess gifts instead of buying chocolates or flowers.
$60 this week.

I will whisper this so no one knows. _{$145 at the shops and $80 for fruit and Vegies.}

Thanks girls.

Sounds like my bill Cookie and now I have to throw all my jam out because of the berries (not happy about that but don't want to get sick).

cookie1 · « **Reply #2939 on:** February 20, 2015, 11:23:02 am »

Troupie I saw in the paper the other day that if the berries had been cooked for over 10 minutes at more than 90 degrees they were ok. Check with the Health Dept.
