This week's grocery breakdown relates to Week 4 minus the roast. Thankfully dh could see my stress levels rising as I got to the end of the supermarket for meat and produce. He let his favourite meal go and we have substituted a soup or two. Pumpkins were less than $1/kg so pumpkin soup will definitely be on the menu this week.
Fresh Produce $55.48
Dairy Products $28.79
Frozen Goods $7.98
Meat $24.55
Bread $5.00
Pantry Items $67.16
Bath and Baby $0
Dog $0
Treats $0
Spent at supermarket $188.96
I also did an early morning trip to my local Steggles outlet and bought 6 kg of thigh fillets for $36.80, 10 twin packs of Sweet Chilli Chicken wraps at $2 each (normal supermarket price approx. $8) and 2 1 kg bags of chicken bites similar to KFC chicken for $8.50 each. Total $73.80
Total spend: $262.76
The chicken will last quite a while which is good, but the freezer is still very low. It is not normally as empty as it is now but I would like to defrost it soon.
We have been planting out lots of seedlings and now that dh has shown a willingness to try more soups I can see our budget going down over the course of the year. I also look forward to having chickens when spring comes around again.
Best wishes
Jen
