We are a family of 5 and our budget is $160 a week. Its def doable!!!!

We dont have to buy nappies though. We buy the $1.50 bread as we go through a loaf a day, homebrand milk cause we use 12-15lt per week. I buy fruit and veg from the fresh food places not super markets as they are more expensive

Homebrand and genric is our friend!!! but the girls never miss out on special treat foods and I always shop where the specials are!!!!

We dont need to be very strict but for me its habit, I walk around with my list and phone calculator and add up as I go. When i was a single mum I HAD to stick to a budget and well now I like too!!!
