It's a good thing alcohol isn't included in my food budget - just spent a pretty penny on goodies from Dan Murphy, that was fun. I kept messing up though and ended up putting 3 orders in to get what I wanted but he does have free delivery for a short period so it didn't matter.  Will have to be more attentive before I sign off on my on-line shopping sprees.

Funny jd I placed an order with dans today too. With free delivery there is no point hoping in the car to go get it.

Haha, I think visiting Dan's was one of DH's fave parts of our holiday in Aus in Feb!! Too bad they don't deliver here. We get beer and wine at the supermarket, so can get that delivered at least.

When one door of happiness closes, another opens, but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one that has been opened for us.

Too scared to add up my bills for the last couple of weeks! Went to Costco last week on top of normal groceries, haven't added it up but I would be way over. This week as well - was over yesterday I think, got a few more things today, and now I'm out of eggs! Plus there's my Aussie farmers milk delivery. Let's just call the last two weeks a big fat fail - but hey, it's Xmas. 😊

I dreaded adding mine up, but was surprised that I was still under $200, go on it will be a nice surprise :)

I need to go shopping and need to go to sainsbury s as well as Aldi for,the things Aldi don't sell.
Will be a bit dearer than normal, but can't go today as delivery coming.

Spent £30 on flour and yeast yesterday online but it will last months, and I got free delivery.  ;D
