Is there a thread or post that has awesome grocery specials on it?  I wonder if anyone else would be interested in this.  Are specials in the big supermarkets the same Oz wide?  I need to get grocery shopping under control lol.

Medusa my husband has something on his ipad that tells him what is on special. I think there would be different specials available for different states.

Is that an app?  Would you be able to find out for me, my mission this week is to start getting organised and stop spending so much.  I have been watching extreme couponing on you tube and boy I wish we could get some of those discounts here.

You can check them all online
Here's the Coles link. http://catalog.coles.com.au/default.aspx
They will differ between the states.
IGA's & woollies can be viewed also.

I am subscribed to www.lasoo.com.au, and you can then check all the catalogue specials for every store around your area.

Medusa it is just the Woolies app, it tells you what is on special, what aisle everything is in and you can zap the barcode on an item you have at home and put it on your shopping list

I sometimes wonder if going from shop to shop to get specials is worth the extra time and petrol costs!

Hope your pain eases, and you can get in some shopping (fingers crossed).....isn't Williams & Sonoma there?

well this finally is released for sale, so it's on it's way.



.....hopefully some nice recipes and I can utilise the whim purchase doughnut maker!


Was excited to see this on per-order....but then noticed there's 164 days before release  :o  why they tease you for so long is beyond me  :-\



the first push pop book is good, but the trouble with American publications is some of their ingredients...which we really have no substitute for.  Really annoyed when I read  "1 can of frozen..." or "1 box of...."
I guess I assume from scratch recipes, so in future I will preview them first on Amazon before buying.
