blah powdered milk is foul!! I remember going to Young Mariners (girl sea scouts) and being provided with milk powder for our Milo's when we came in from being on the ocean.... that memory will haunt me forever LOL

Another good thing is to make sure you aren't hungry when you go to the supermarket... that way you don't buy things because of the convenience ]]> Fri, 04 Jul 2008 09:09:11 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18811&PID=431350&title=good-money-saving-ideas-for-groceries#431350 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18811&PID=431302&title=good-money-saving-ideas-for-groceries#431302 Author: MissAngel

When I was flatting, I used to feed 2 people on 20 bucks a week. It can be done! (of course there was no kids involved) We ate veges and a bit of meat but never had to have crappy milk power - although its not too bad in coffee. ]]> Fri, 04 Jul 2008 08:23:37 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18811&PID=431302&title=good-money-saving-ideas-for-groceries#431302 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18811&PID=431293&title=good-money-saving-ideas-for-groceries#431293 Author: sally belly

There are some useful tips there but I'm not sure about "Dave" who only eats breakfast on Mon, Wed & Fri (& dinner), lunch on Tue & Thur (& dinner) & breakfast & lunch on the weekends (no dinner). . Can anyone say hungry?!

Does anyone know what powdered milk actually tastes like?

Wow to this comment

" have had to reduce how much I eat as I already buy the cheapest available food and am still broke. I now split the days that I eat. I have breakfast on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. I have lunch on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I have dinner from Monday to Friday. On weekends I have breakfast and lunch but have no dinner. This has reduced my food bill by 33%. It also means that I am losing weight as well."

My tip is to go shopping early Sunday morning, most of the meat packs from Saturday are reduced by a couple of dollars each!]]> Thu, 03 Jul 2008 18:31:12 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18811&PID=430904&title=good-money-saving-ideas-for-groceries#430904 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18811&PID=430853&title=good-money-saving-ideas-for-groceries#430853 Author: .Mel
