Obviously I just can't justify going out and blowing 10% of my budget this week on mustard (where I'd only use a couple of tablespoons of it!), so I substituted with some leftover honey, mustard and herb marinade I had left in the fridge. Otherwise I would have substituted with some red pesto for something different (cheesy red pesto lamb steaks!).
Today's Savings:
- Not buying additional mustard and substituting with what I had - saving $3.50.
Today's Expenditure:
- This afteroon I bought milk for breakfast tomorrow, 3 litres full cream for the kids, and 3 litres light for us - $6.80.
Total spend this week - $6.80.
Total savings - $20.20.
Hi, i'm just new to your website and haven't looked around it yet but it looks FABULOUS! I am so into budgeting but haven't found any Aussie mums who are as strict as me or probably you so i cant wait to get some tips! look forward to reading your blog, cheers, Amanda (are you on twitter?)
ReplyDeleteYou are a machine Katy, I am very impressed and inspired
ReplyDeleteThanks Amanda! I'm trying to change the focus of my blog a bit, because as you said, it's hard to find other Australian Mums trying to keep costs down and actually try and stick to a budget.
ReplyDeleteNot on twitter yet though - just trying to keep ahead on this!! Look forward to reading your archives too, as I only just found your blog.
Thanks Krys!!!
