OK, so I've never been good at shopping on a budget, well except for when I was with my first husband, I was a student but he earnt $10 too much for me to get Austudy, so we lived on $27,000 pa for 2 years. I had $50 a week to do the shopping, and I managed it.

Now - I have no idea how the hell I managed it, but I did. I even had money left over from that $50 to get maccas after shopping night!!!

So - since I seem to have left that financial brain back with my ex - how do you manage to live cheaply? We spend at least $300 a week on food. We use cloth nappies, so we only have disposables of a night time, so thats one per child (although DS is basically night trained as well, so we reuse his about 3 nights in a row.. lol)

I can't really think of how you shop cheaply - I guess its not at the greengrocer cos I spend about $70 for the week on fruit and vegies when I go there!! And thats not cheap!!!

So how do you cut down on your grocery bill? How low could I reasonably get it?
