What we bought, spent and ate this week

Hello Dear Reader,

This weeks shop was actually done last Wednesday, as Lovely Hubby works on Thursdays and, of course, the shops were closed on Good Friday. I didn't want to buy the fruit so early in the week, so I popped to Aldi on Sunday to top up with fruit so it would be fresher and last the week.

We've been hitting around about the $100 dollar mark, grocery wise, for the last couple of weeks, which is lovely, I know if I was really serious about saving even more on groceries, I could, but as I've mentioned before, we have decided to not buy fruit and veg pre-packed in plastic and also to buy meat from an animal that has had a better life, it's a decision made with the environment and respect for the animal, in mind.

This coming Friday, we will be leaving to go camping up the beach, I say beach this time, as our most favourite camping ground, Noosa North Shore, is closed for regeneration. It will give us a chance to use of off-road camper trailer to its full potential. You know I only just realised, last night, that next weekend is also a long weekend with the May Day public holiday on Monday, that means that our beloved beach with be super busy with traffic and campers. We have always sworn never to go up the beach when it's holiday time or a public holiday, whoops! I think we'll be in for a busy time.

While we're away, I have decided to have a break from blogging. I usually try to blog everyday and I still really enjoy it, but I am feeling rather tired and jaded at the moment, I don't know whether you have noticed it, but I think I need a break. Hopefully a week at the beach will be just the tonic I need.
