We usually make sure we have $200 for shopping. Thats all shopping for 5 of us. Meat, fruit & veg & often a pack of smokes for DH, but usually there's not enough.
A big shop for us is around $300. Every time we have spare money we try to do a big shop. When we can afford it.
We only buy the kids chips maybe once every month or 2. I use cloth nappies, & we are very basic with our food. But we still get some great meals on that price. Chicken's a rarity It can be exxy. Roasts are also a once a month thing. Its usually mince, sausages, then chops or something I can marinade for something different. We only buy $2 bread too. We go through a loaf a day, so there's no way we could afford more than that!
Kids have sao's & salada's for school. Cheap le snacks are our junk food.
