I am astonished how much rubbish trollies hold! I am also saddened when I hear a parent tell a child 'NO you can't have a mango they are $2!!!!'.... and the trolley is full of the above mentioned items!<br />I think you are doing well on the challenge, living well, but not excessively. Certainly have chooks and veggie garden helps out a lot.<br />cheers Wendyduchess_declutterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01763062839151537111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7957074720324686869.post-15434874249781866772011-12-02T06:12:33.236+10:002011-12-02T06:12:33.236+10:00I agree with Suzanne, the only way you can spend $...I agree with Suzanne, the only way you can spend $320 is with a BIG family or lots of processed foods. We spend $50-100 for two people as we produce our own vege, meat and milk.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12874273438983052621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7957074720324686869.post-21304974317486316222011-12-01T21:08:50.970+10:002011-12-01T21:08:50.970+10:00This is such a good idea.

I sometimes home bake oat bread which my children eat instead of cereal.<br />I may go to the shop once a week, and then a top up shop for fruit/veg/milk later...I try and I say I try to go for the $100.00 shop....I can do it, and its frugal....so on the other trips when I go over it, say for instance we need toiletries and meat, then it will of course by over. So yeah, I think those $350.00 trolleys are the ones that are loaded and I mean loaded with processed, frozen, and convenience meals......if you cook from scratch your trolley shouldnt be overflowing (except when loo paper is on spesh!) and it should be full of healthy looking foods...real foods, not packets!Suzannehttp://enchantedthingsprimitives.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.com
