we spend about 90-110 on groceries, 10-20 on fresh produce and thats just 2 of us and a cat!! i shop at aldi tho for most things and go to coles for others... i am also in the habbit of when toiletries are on sale i buy 2 or 3... if i see shampoo and conditioner at an excellent price i know i will use it so i get 2 or 3 and put into the linen stores. Lynx were changing their deodorant roll on shapes so the old ones of exactly the same size and smell were selling for 1.99 instead of 4 something so i grabbed all that was left which was like 4 for DH he said wtf is this so i told him and he said ok that makes sense!!!! toilet paper on sale i do the same and soap and tooth paste coles home brand blue gel one is awesome (i never used anything but colgate hated aim, mcleans and so on didnt feel clean afterwards) But i love this blue gel one and they reduced them to $1 a tube so 5 tubes later we still have plenty of tooth paste!
