How do you keep your grocery bills down?

We do 99% of our shopping at Aldi and it costs us around $100 per week (it can be more if we buy extras, DH likes their beer LOL). I have learned to work with what Aldi has and make food around what I can buy there.

We meal plan so we buy all the food we'll need in one shop and don't generally need to go to another supermarket for the extras, but if I do it can cost up to an extra $30 per week.

I buy my nappies for DS2 from the manufacturer Naelfran in Ferntree Gully. A pack of 100 seconds costs about $17 and I have no problems with them. I do use Aldi nappies for night time though.

Another money saver is to grow your own herbs if they are something you use a lot of.

Ummm...that's all I can think of for now!

Naelfran and I don't get along too well - DS just soaks straight through them
I get bulk Huggies from NappyLand about $40 for 108 so thats not too bad - a box lasts me almost 3 weeks
