I said I was planning to only spend $70 on groceries today, well was I wrong. All up it ended up to be $107. Spent $21.29 at the Asian shop, $9.36 at Woolworths (we didn't bother going to Aldi, it's out of the way and we didn't need to get much stuff from there) and the rest was spent at the market. Decided to get about a month's worth of meat, all up we spent almost $54. It was cheaper to get 2kilos worth of stuff than just a kilo that's why we got more than I was planning. I didn't mind, I prefer we only go to the market once a month instead of twice because of the crazy parking. We also got $18 worth of cheeses (got 5 different types of cheese) and salami at the deli.
So we only got $113 left in the budget for the month (about $28-30 p/week). I think it is doable.

Snafu yeah some items have gone up but I think an increase in competition in supermarkets have kept some prices down (staples have never been cheaper until now). I'm actually trying to lower our grocery spending this year. So far it has been alright but I'm definitely using all the tricks that I know.
