Here is the update of my shop.
You may notice the column labeled “Actual (Deemed)” If a price is in RED, that indicates an item that I have not actually bought because I have the same product already at home.
I had budgeted for Tea Bags @ $2.57, but I took advantage of the special on Nerada tea at $1.99 I have Liptons currently at home, but only because they were on sale a few weeks ago. My tea varies between Liptons, Bushells and Nerada depending on what is the best special on the day. So I am happy to deem $1.99 for 50 teabags.
I had also originally budgeted for chicken thighs from the deli ( they had been advertised at $4.99kg) When I got to the store, I noticed the drumsticks were only $3.98kg so bought 2 of them instead.
I was disappointed to see just how expensive fresh produce is in the supermarket. 🙁
There was no Lettuce mix left so I have had to substitute baby spinach leaves to get some fresh green leafy vege into to meals. I will have to get creative with some vege next week.

Looking around Woolworths I took note of a few options for next weeks shop. I am hoping to get some Mince to get some red meat into the diet. I also noticed a Home Brand Lasagne for just $2.27 which might make cheap lunches for 3 days.
I am happy that I have come in under budget. Now the fun begins with actually eating the menu plan. I now have $25.15 for my budget next week
We start with breakfast tomorrow.
