I am desperately trying to save money. It seems to be slipping through my fingers so fast this past six or so months and I just can't work out why. I am thinking that I waste a lot with poor shopping and planning so I am working on that to see what I can do.
I am planning on recording my fortnightly plan and spending and see how I go.
Expenditure for this fortnight is as follows and I will assess extra expenses and report back in a fortnight as to how I have gone.
Supermarket: $60
Greengrocer: $35
local grocer: $9
Co-op: $60 (not a common expense as I only order once every couple of months for things like bulk box of oat milk cartons, organic dates, bulk flour and coconut oil etc)
Total to date: $164
I must say I am grateful to knowing the wonderful Eilleen over at consumption rebellion and her inspirational post here that prompted me to start reassessing food expenses.
My fortnight starts on a Wednesday. So I have two weeks of meals planned that go something like this:

PS
Jamie just asked in a comment what do I eat when I am child free. I forgot that I didn't include that in my plan.
I tend to eat up leftovers alot or just basic meals like eggs on toast, veggies or a freezer meal. I try to freeze left overs as much as possible or cook extra for the freezer. Will blog more about that.
