It has been a while since I’ve done any of my grocery posts on here. Mostly because I tend to buy the same(ish) stuff each fortnight, I’m not prescriptive in “teaching” you want to do like a “real” shopping and meal planning blog (plus I don’t meal plan or follow receipes because ugh who lives […]
Food Post
The Stock Shop
I used to post my grocery shopping on here pretty often. It all started with my very tight budget post when I was working part time and struggling financially. Then I did it regularly, sometimes along with photos of the meals I had made. But I stopped, partially out of laziness and partially because what […]
DIY Bhuja Snack Mix
DIY Bhuja Snack Mix Anne from Domesblissity let me know on Instagram recently that she has a recipe for Bhuja Snack Mix on her blog – I love these snacks but find them very expensive to buy. I thought they would be cheap to make but hadn’t ever tried. So on the weekend I decided […]
Grocery Guessing Game
This fortnight, I thought I would change it up a little. I want you to have a look at my trolley photos, a look at some old posts if you want (like this one, this one and that one) and tell me what you think I spent on groceries in Coles this week. […]
A Sort Of $89 Grocery Shop
I paid electricity and rego this fortnight. Yay for having a car and electricity, boo for the cost of them, am I right? Anyway, with those slight dents to my bank balance, I wanted to do a smallish shop. But again, when I wanted to do a smallish shop, it fell on a bit […]
$142 Grocery Shop
I had hoped to do a bit of a small shop this week, but it turned out to be a bit of a stock up cycle. Le sigh. We did our big grocery shop in one hit, but also went back the next day for a few things because I knew they were going to […]
Slow Cooker Beef Chilli
Ever since I scored a $3 slow cooker at a garage sale last year, I’ve been a bit slack at using it. I figured making chilli was probably a pretty safe first timer thing to try and make (I’m not counting a gooey botched batch of rice). As I usually do, I skim the internet […]
$206 Grocery Shop
Go me, because not only did I manage to spend an entire day at work yesterday, but I also managed to go out after work and buy food! It’s a good sign that the virus that has been kicking my butt for a week is finally starting to leave my system. Even better, this fortnight […]
Questions About CostCo
Seeing as the Brisbane CostCo isn’t too far for me, I’ve wondered if I should join and do my shopping there. But I have a lot of questions about what would be worth it or not. Questions About CostCo Is it really cheaper? Firstly, we don’t spend much overall on grocery shopping, so […]
Spicy Asian Style Dipping Sauce
I first made this sauce a few years ago when some friends & I had a dumpling party. I realised I hadn’t ever gotten around to blogging it in any kind of detail*. *Detail being kind of a vague term for someone like me who makes up cooking as they go along. Spicy […]
