Last week was $200 for WW online, and I have spent nothing since then.

So this weeks shopping will be low. :)

Big fail this week - over $200  :o
That includes a fair few non-food things (washing powder, dishwasher tablets, cat food), stocking up on some specials (cooking oil half price), plus things for DD's birthday party, and a bit of extra food in case we have extra family members staying for dinner after her party.

Next week, no excuses!!!

$139.43 thus week, hoped to come in budget but bought sime specials in Coles so that stuffed me up.

I love Great Ocean Road vintage cheese, they had 2 blocks for $10, so that and a few extra cereals etc pulled me over.

Oh well I am getting better :)

I usually include the full shop cost too - although this week it looks like I need to buy at least $40 of sunscreen, so not sure I want to include that!
Generally, if I'm spending a lot on unusual non-food items, I might adjust the total, but don't bother for everyday stuff like toilet paper and tissues and the few cleaning products I buy.

I do too but if I buy any Christmas presents etc at the supermarket, that cost is deducted as it's not for me.

I include everything. Meat, veggies, cleaning products etc. perhaps that is why mine always seems so high.
May all dairy items in your fridge be of questionable vintage.

Probably cookie. Mine doesnt include my bulk meat.

So far I have been to the bread shop & the asian shop, so I am going to be very over this week.

Way over last week & dont even ask this week. To start with I spent $50 on rtr icing, plus party food, party bags & other stuff!! Very hard this time of year, in reality should look at being within budget or close too after christmas :)
