Unstuffing this life andFood shopping experiences

Eventually i hope to take on some organisational techniques and i am hoping that this will be sort of life changing for myself and my little family. I am hoping to use this book that was given to me by my wonderful mumma to help me out



Today I did my usually weekly shopping trip, we shop withing a budget and most weeks i'm pretty good at keeping under it. Today i went to the usual two grocery stores: Aldi and Woolworths. I had to share the pics that i took of the two hauls to show the difference in pricing. Granted shop number two (Woolies) was most of our meat but i still did buy meat at shop number 1. I spent almost the exact same amount of money at each store and this is what i came out with.

Shop 1

All fruit (bananas,pears,apples, capsicum)

All veg (potatoes, sweet potatoes, carrots, mush, spinach, beans, brocoli,onions)
Meat (mince 1kg, bacon 1kg)
Cheese, milk, sour cream
Tea, tinned tomatoes, cerial, mustard, popcorn, fish oil tablets,eggs, english muffins, wholemal wraps, disenfectant, lasagne sheets, snack rice crackers.
May have forgotten a few things but this is just an example. Approx 30-35 items

Shop 2
Meat (mixed mince, steak, roast, chicken breast (its cheaper at shop 1 but i forgot it)
Yoghurt, parmesan cheese, rosmary
Fruit and Veg juice
Vege chips and coffee
12 Items.

As i said shop number 2 had more meat and i plan to try and get it cheaper elsewhere as suggested to me by my lovely friend.

So the next thing is to write out the meal plan for the week (which is in my head) and i did shop according to it.

Hopefully i'm ont he right track to my unstuffed life!!
