2 Adults, 1 Toddler - $200 a fortnight inclusive of personal items (hair dye, razors, body wash etc) meat, F & V and nappies etc also...

And we eat VERY well, want for nothing, still get our luxuries.

I make pretty much everything from scratch and bake a bit too for snacks etc..

I shop mostly online except for fresh stuff like meat, fruit & veg etc but always make my meal plan to mostly make use of the meat/deli specials. We do a couple of veg meals, like soups etc but most of our meals are meat, pork, chicken & fish. I buy expensive things like coffee in the biggest tin when it's on sale, I always get at least $10 a tin off coffee (Nescafe Blend 43) toilet paper (Only Kleenex Cottonelle) in bulk on sale etc.. I find with these items usually by the time I need them again or start to look like needing them, they're on sale again! I swear they're in an even rotation sometimes!

I'll come back later to tell of some other things we do but I actually find it so easy and am always surprised at how much money people spend on groceries, most of which gets wasted.. Meal planning is AWESOME! I do all our breakfast, lunch & dinners and usually have lots leftover each fortnight so roll that over in to the next fortnight
