We spend (well when I say we spend... lol) up to $150. Thats my limit. Hopefully cheaper soon when I start my vegie patch.But we buy fruit and veg from the fruit shop and meat from the butchers and we do most of the shop at Aldi and what we can't get there (ie: aldi doesn't sell it) we get from Coles. I also go to the markets on a sunday and spend about $40 there, but that isn't included in my $150. Must change that!

Definately write out a list (I go thru recipe books and write down what I don't have - and on another peice of paper write what recipes I've chosen coz I get my groceries home and can't rememer what the hell I bought that for!!) and stick to your shopping list. If it's not on there, don't buy it! I but my toilet paper in bulk (from aldi there's 10 or 12 pack for $4 or something crazy) and my washing powder in 10kg box from whoever has it cheapest on special (ie : Kmart/Big W) Should do that again with my cat food... Much cheaper!

Best of luck!
