Without nappies, we spend $200 a week max. We've gone up to $250 on the very odd occasion, but we are lucky to make the $200 mark usually.
We have meat 5 or 6 nights a week at least. Once a week we usually have something a bit less fuss. Pies, hotdogs etc.
I make everything we eat for dinner. I usually buy a bulk pack of lamingtons & mini cupcakes for school & will bag them up & freeze them. If we are low on money I make my own.
I buy frozen veggies & fresh fruit. I havr my list of what I need & thats what I buy. I try to buy whatever is on sale/clearance, or home brand (most things).
Cottenelle toilet paper is on sale at Woolies atm, 16 pack for $8. One of these lasts us 2 - 3 weeks!
We also go through alot of spuds. We have potato of some sort almost every night. You can do soooo much with a potato!
We usually buy a $20 pack of ciggarettes in that $200 as well.
