Four point four Kilos to my ideal body weight... (32)
wash2u: My shopping bill (without fresh meat from the decent butcher) is about $50 each week.
well I take my hat off to you Wash
I went shopping today for one person (me
) for the week. I only brought fruit and veg, steak, cutlets, pork, pasta, salmon, loo paper and dog food, muesli, bread, eggs and a couple of dairy items and it came to over $150 .......
Honestly, I couldn't have got away with much less than what I got?? Apples were $5 a kilo
Looks like eating healthy has a kick in the hip pocket
wash2u: I usually go shopping about once a week. Have that little carry thing that hangs off my arm in the supermarket. Usually have to hang on to the milk as it crushes all the stuff in the basket.
Mostly vegies which I could buy cheaper than the supermarket from the greengrocer across the way. But they do not have everything I want. Which means going to the greengrocer for somethings, into the supermarket for some other things, and then back to the greengrocer after comparing prices. And then a few days later throwing out the rotten greengrocer produce.
My shopping bill (without fresh meat from the decent butcher) is about $50 each week. I spend more on that on the one night I take my daughter and son-in-law out for dinner each week ... he does have to have the 1/2 tonne steak
I line up in the checkout queues behind people who do have to have so many prepackaged foods. "That will be $360.64, Charlene. Do you have your Loyalty/Flybuys Card with you? Will that be EFPOS or Credit? See you next week, Charlene. Sorry, sir, there will be a slight delay while this valued customer loads up her trolley."

Your observation skills and your memory is impeccable Mr Wash
I like my food, I think it is one of life's pleasures - and seeing as I don't have too many of those I may as well pig out!
I eat lots of salad, yoghurt and fruit but I also like treats like olives, special cheeses, salmon, artichokes, asparagus, avocado, anything that takes my fancy really
Wish I could be one of those people sometimes who don't really take an interest in food - but I spent too many years in the Mediterranean where eating is a huge social thing and can't shake that off.
I really have no idea how much I spend on food per week but I am buying for 2 at the moment, was 3, and my daughter is a medically diagnosed coeliac which is so bloody expensive!
Bon appetit!

I do try.....have a weakness for creamy cheeses though
I just did a shop it was around 30 bucks, salad veg, beetroot and pineapple, a few pears, pumpkin and lentils for a batch of patties, 2 tubs of yoghurt and pkts of jellies for desserts, couple cartons milk, pkt of muesli, can of chickpeas for hommus, dozen eggs, bottle of cordial, tub of margarine and a couple of other sundry items.
Will last me a week with bits and pieces I already have in the fridge, but no chicken drumsticks for the wee dog yet

Shopping bill at the suprmarket for Thursday was $52.83 (including GSt $0.00 plus rounding UP of $0.02 because I paid cash). Most expensive item was the Australian made Olive Oil at $7.00 followed by the Latina pre-packaged pasta at $6.00 (does 6 meals for me). The olives and cheese and fetta cheese were $4.92 each for the week.
Add to that the $25.00 for meat from the butcher for the week (I do enjoy the 2 Porterhouse steaks).
But I do not include anything there for smokes and drinks, they cost more each week than the food.
Now when I do get around to getting the extras I do like (coffee, soft toilet paper, etc) or cleaning stuff, it does come a bit more.
And not having a dog these days does reduce the bill a lot. I always made sure he had decent food. Even if I didn't. He "helped" me through so many years. Have to look after friends.
I've been enjoying my Lite n Easy. I did it for convenience and to ensure I ate some healthy food, not to lose weight. But I have lost weight, surprisingly.
I used to eat very little for lunch so when I got home I'd snack all the time. Now they give me a substantial lunch so I'm snacking less. Not much less really, but it seems to help.

I'm ok, being vego and primarily relying on lentil, chickpeas, tofu etc for protein (cheap as) but how people can afford meat, chicken and fish and then put fresh veg with them ... I do not know Erm and when did postage stamps start costing 80c
