Well done Maz..

I never thought I would have to worry about it. (I had no plans of being a SAHM before I had DD, now I have another, and not heading back to work till DD is at school )

We have started a vege patch, but still waiting for the benefits, but DD helps DH water it and check it every day. We also have a herb garden.

We shop at Aldi for most stuff, bulk butcher for meat, fruit and vege shop, and I take note of catalogues.

I am also a believer in paying a bit more for something that will save money in the long run, e.g we bought a $40 garlic press over a year ago, but considering we were buying cheaper ones every few months as DH kept breaking them, this has saved us money..
