How much do you spend on average for Dinner?

[Mak]

Hmm tricky one. I would guess about $15-$20 for dinner, maybe? It really depends. I try to have a loose meal plan so a roast, 2 xpasta, 2 x few meat and veg meals, rice meal and vege meal and then adapt at the supermarket depending on what I can get on special. I find if I am too prescriptive I am then locked into buying certain things. This is particularly good when marinara mix/ricotta/roasts are on sale as they are often near half price (or have been recently)
I also find I can make up the $$ with the vege meals. I do spend a bit on pantry items as staples but as you would know it gives heaps of flexibility. I am also trying to freeze unused portions rather than eat extra and stew the sadder looking fruit rather than waste it by throwing it out. We had yummy apple and pear last week, banana cake and DH and the girls were very happy.
Rouge you always inspire me to do better in regards to cooking so I am keen to hear what you do too!

ETA Goodness I have much to learn!!!! Hope to get some more great ideas xx
