We are a family of 8, and it costs us around $160 a week......

*I breastfeed and use cloth nappies, so that cuts down a lot
* I buy cheaper cuts of meat and make YUMMY meals in the slow cooker or we bbq
* I use only bi carb and vinegar for cleaning, no bought products except washing powder
* I bake... its so much cheaper and yummier
* side of the road stall up here for all fresh produce, its great (about an extra $30 a week)
* I buy all shamp's, cond's, toothpaste, loo paper etc at the "cheap" shops
* buy whatever is on sale, like cereals, pastas etc...

I'll be back if I think of any more babe...
