Yesterday I went shopping and I did go over the budget but by .90 but that's ok as I did have that spare in my purse. I went to the supermarket bought all homebrand products. I everything I need to and also some super cheap yogurt (1kg for $2.79) and some more tortillas and everything came to a nice $14.05.
Next I went to the vege shop and I bought a green capsicum (1.99) an avocado (.99), two carrots (.82), two oranges (.73), half a pumpkin (1.20) and grapes (1.19) for a grand total of $6.92. I also asked them if they had any scraps that my chooks could eat and they said yes and showed me this huge wooden bin of lettuce leaves, bruised fruit and veges, cabbage leaves and other vege scraps. So I got a big bag of outer lettuce leaves, ratty looking silver beet and cabbage leaves for the girls as a treat. And I was a bit naughty and saw an onion that had a tiny gash in it and a red capsicum with was a bit soft at the top so I snaffled them and had them in my vege pasta bake last night.
In total I spent $20.90 which I am happy with. I popped $20 of petrol in the car and that should see me through to Tuesday. I realised I don't have as much cheese as I had assumed so I will swap the homemade pizza for chicken casserole with green beans and potatoes instead. And with the leftovers I will top with pastry and have chicken pie for lunch tomorrow.
