I feel so bad asking you guys for so much help when I haven't been able to help anyone else out...anyway I need you help again.
I have been trying to reduce the grocery bill for a couple of months now and I guess I just need a little help from the experts about where to start with the overhaul...
We dont have coupons here in Australia...I have a few options available to me, please advise if you beleive there are any more that you think I could be using
1. shopping at farmers markets/green grocers and butchers
2. shopping at aldi or other various discount shopping centers
3. shopping at main chain shopping centers
4. shopping at costco
At the moment I am going to farmers markets to get what I can of what I need, then I head to the discount stores, then I go to the main chain stores....
I am trying to work costco in to our shopping, trying to buy things in bulk...I really dont know what is worth buying in bulk and what isn't...its all very new for me...I will give you a run down of our weekly/month grocery list
Fruit and veg for the week (this covers all meals for the week and snacks for DD)
Meat for the week (we dont eat much meat but am starting to go for the cheaper meats)
We aim to make most meals from scratch but still need to buy things like oyster sauce and oil (grapeseed and olive)
Dairy (expensive because DD has to drink goat's milk) cheese (goats) and marg/butter (nut butters etc)
Cleaning products and household items like light bulbs etc
Animal food and litter
Extras (things we dont need but we buy anyway chips etc)
Any help would be greatly appreciated
I am going to Costco this coming Sunday and would love to start our grocery revolution!
