Thanks to this thread I did some careful planning about what I was going to buy and then went to Aldi for the first time since I was a student this weekend. I followed it up with woolies because I couldn't get everything I wanted, but my shop was much cheaper than normal - $140. I will probably get a couple of extra things during the week, but not much I reckon we'll come in under $200 and usually it's over $300.

Edit: lol, just realised that I'd combined this and the Aldi thread that's currently on the go in my head so half the stuff I'd written wasn't relevant I've just come back in and deleted the non-relevant stuff!
