Grocery Shop Tally

I left early this morning, dropped the little one at Kindy and headed straight for the petrol station. I made my goal of lasting til Thursday to fill up - although the light was flashing red!

I filled the tank for $89.05. Last week I had $9 left of my budget and there is another $10 remaining from this week - so $19 in my fuel cash.

Last fortnight I had $2 remaining in the grocery cash. I did buy quite alot of meat last week reduced, so that has helped this weeks shopping.I shop the specials as much as I can, which normally involves me shop at 3 different supermarkets. I now drive to a shopping area a little further from my house to take advantage of the fact that all 3 supermarkets are next door to each other. I've found that this makes my time more efficient and helps keep my petrol usage lower.
