Far out $395.00 2 adults 2 children – I would swear my grocery bill has increased 75% in the past 12 months. And I’m stingy. I need remedial shopping classes. Dumpster diving is looking good! I must add that we did buy items we normally wouldn’t as my son’s school is collecting toiletries for an inner city hostel (bars of soap,baby powder, little packets of tissues, rexona deod, share packs of chocolate).
We went at 8:30pm as this shopping centre is very busy in daylight hours, and I despise grocery shopping at the best of times. Thank goodness for extended hours – this one is open until midnight 7 days (if it had of been closed Coles at Edgecliffe would have been my target – and it has an Aldi as competition, so it is on the list).
Ok enough chit chat with my many fans… onto my receipt.
