T Minus One - Part Two

Aaaaah shopping - I do quite enjoy it but I have to admit it was a little odd yesterday - especially the looks from people as I took pictures. Before I headed out I did have a plan (which I didnt really follow) but knew I would be starting at Pak'N'Save

First stop Pak'N'Save Glen Innes - this is my regular supermarket and I quickly flew around noting prices. Only two things grabbed by attention. Bread is still $1.47 a loaf for the cheapest but more importantly luncheon meat is just 49c per 100g. After checking prices would be the same the next day I headed off to Sylvia Park...

The aisle of value failed me here (as it had done at GI) - and they didnt even have cheap luncheon. I did price up the eggs in case they were an option

I realised I needed to review this once I'd purchased everything else and I could see what I had left over in my weekly and daily budgets - but 31.5c per egg probably puts it in the 'no' category but we'll see.

My next stop was, of all places, Howick. Not where I had expected to end up during my weeks of preparation, but there I was hunting down a shop that opened a few weeks ago - Bin Inn. This is a large 'Pick and Mix' shop, and once I found it I was extremely happy I'd made the trip

I made three purchases (finally I bought something!!!) at Bin Inn, although I believe the shop keeper was hoping for a little more than the $1.30 he got out of me. He must have thought I was mad with how happy I was with what I bought:

PURCHASE MADE

260g of Rolled Oats at 29c per 100g = Total Cost 75c

100g of Granulated Sugar at 23c per 100g = Total Cost 23c

105g of Long Grain Rice at 30c per 100g = Total Cost 32c

Next stop - Vege Oasis. I knew I was going to stop here as I had spotted a bargain earlier in the week

PURCHASE MADE

Nine Kiwi Fruit for 99c = Total Cost 99c

Last stop - Tripoli Road (I was getting some very odd looks so you dont get a picture!) and I purchased four litres of milk for $4.80. Some may consider this cheating but I have put aside 2 litres of full cream milk for the 5 day challenge

PURCHASE MADE

2 litres of silver top milk = Total Cost $2.40

 So where does that leave me, what meals am I imagining and what else do I need to buy? All good question - and that's just what I now need to work that out... T Minus One - Part Three
