What we bought, spent and ate this week

Hello Dear Reader,

I questioned a while ago about whether you were still interested in this kind of post? It's no bother and I actually love to see what other bloggers are buying and eating, weird? normal? I don't know, but I just love it, especially blog posts from other parts of the world. I love the photos, look at that brand of washing liquid, I wonder what it's like, look how large the milk containers are, look how cheap their groceries are, I can hear myself saying. Truly weird!

Anyway that is my long winded way of asking if I should keep posting these kind of posts, yes or no? Does it still interest you? What about the marked down items, are you interested in those?

I have been popping up to the local Woolworths and Coles a couple of times a week to check out any marked down produce, this week I was quite lucky and now have enough to plan 5 meals for the coming week. I am hoping our weekly grocery costs will go down by doing this. Time will tell I guess.

Now on with what was on our family table this week
