So I went grocery shopping again today. With list in hand off I went. When it was all over I had spent $154.32. That's $14.32 over budget and it doesn't include the two milk runs I've done this week or will have to do before the next shop.
So on the drive home I was thinking about the overspend. I thought I had bought well even though it was over my budget. I had bought some shampoo, toothpaste, deodorant etc as well as a heap of fruit and veg. I decided on my way home that I would take a picture of the shop, to have something visual before it all gets put away and you are left wondering where $150 went.
| Aldi shop - $93.73 |
| Coles Shop - $40.60 |
| Fruit and Veg Shop - $20 (Plus Aldi Bread) |
- In the Aldi shop there was 2x 1kg blocks of cheese at $6.69 each. This will last us till the end of Feb.
- I also bought 2 packs of ham (200g packs) at $3.99 each. I hope this lasts till the end of next week if not a little longer.....
- The other expensive item was dishwasher powder - $3.99. The one we are using isn't finished yet but I wanted to have one in reserve. (The horror of having to wash by hand!!!)
- The big pink 4 litre container is Ice Cream. $4.29
- I bought 2 tubes of our toothpaste on sale $2 each. So this should last for sometime.
- I also bought a reserve tube for Miss BB
- For Miss BB I had to get shampoo and conditioner. Luckily she likes the cheapest brand - $1.90 each
- There was also Coles brand deo for $2.60. This is a reserve item. I hate the idea of running out before we can get another so once something like this is opened I buy the next one.
- I also bought 2 dips on sale 2 for $4. This is a treat for us for Saturday night when Mr BB and I have a movie night planned. Cheaper than going out to the movies I guess.
- Yes there is a chocolate bar for me in the picture which was on sale for $1. It just made it on the picture before it was eaten.
- Nothing really to say about these items. The nectarines may have been a little on the expensive side at $3.99kg. But Mr BB likes them.
