Well done JD, whats your average for the year ?:)

I might get away with the fruit for the 5 days as dh has a fruit basket at work & we have fruit at the gym, plus I am hoping to go to Canning Vale markets today & will buy a few things there. Never been to the markets before :o

So far this year it averages out at $25 per week Hally.  My pantry now has spaces and the freezer is not so chockers either.

Actually no, that's not correct Hally.  Just checked and there have already been 5 shopping weeks this year so make that $20 per week so far.  I've only had 1 x $100 shop so far.

I really must try and get back on track, I'm feeding 4 adults again, think my budget needs to be $ 170 which will include every thing, I spend at lest $50. Every Sunday at the growers market on fruit and veg.
I child-proofed my house, but they still get in!

2 more packs gone from the freeze then CC.  Why is it that we freeze things unnamed thinking we will remember what it is ???

I thought I was the only one that did this. I think , oh that is easy to recognise I won't label it.  :-\

Same here.  Thawed out something I thought was stewed fruit, turned out to be spaghetti sauce.  :D
