The other thing to remember is when the baby arrives, you will be eligible for the baby bonus which is around $398 a fortnight and also Family Tax A and B.
I agree on selling the car if it hardly gets used as the rego must cost a bit on two cars.
Your rent...is that $380 a week?
DH goes to the Vic market once a month-every 6wks for out meat and I scour the junk mail and usually shop between Aldi, Coles and Woolthorths or IGA depending on what we need that week. We don't buy our meat from the super market as it is too expensive for what you get and you can quite often get cheaper fruit n veg at the local Fruit n Veg rather than supermarket. If you got the Vic or Footscary market for meat around closing time they start selling everything very very cheap.
What do you do when the Rego comes in for the car? Do you put money aside for unexpected bills?
You can also look into if Teni or you qualifies for a concession card through centrelink so you then get discounts on your household bills and car rego.
Look into working from home jobs like envelope stuffing..something you an Teni can together or walking jobs delivering junk mail, another thing you can do together.
