So, just did the shopping at Pak 'n Save in Sylvia Park. Realistically, in the city when we're at the apartment, we won't have the luxury of getting everything in one fell swoop like this, and it'll probably be from the Foodtown on Quay St...but I digress. (Can always take small things to and from work, anyway.) Here's the final list of things that we ended up buying:


All the meals for the week have been planned out (although to be fair, tonight is Paperclip and Arron is having dinner with his family so some of the planning is not really useful; but basically we know what we're having for the next week. At about $80, all of the required items had been covered, I then backtracked through the supermarket and picked up stuff that would either be useful (ie oyster sauce) or things that were unnecessary (but still nice to have).
So today's plan was:
Morning: Cereal/milk/toast/fruit
(none of which we had because we hadn't gone to buy anything...
Lunch: Ham sandwiches with lettuce
(which we didn't eat because Arron had to go to work before we finished shopping and I'm at home now eating leftovers from a stirfry...)
Dinner: Pasta with mince
(which probably only I will have, because Arron has dinner with his family. I have no money to go to dinner for with Paperclip.)
But yeah. Heaps of food, for $100. I think we'll make it. Even if like the other stuff runs out, we can live on potatoes and eggs. :D
