When I was on mat leave some Fortnights we only had 80-100 for grocery shopping, which would include nappies. Um home brand everything, basics. Most days I didn't eat lunch either and it helped that my parents fed us twice a week.

How cheap can you live?

We spend about $120 a week on groceries, excluding nappies - there are 5 of us. We tend to get meat when it hits 'two days before use by' at the supermarket and is marked down to half price. Our supermarket does the same thing with bread. You can spot the discount stands, they are the ones with pensioners hovering around them, picking through it
When we're on ultra-scrooge mode we either drop meat completely or not buy stuff that takes a single meal over $5.
