Staples (groceries)

argh i hate how weetbix can cost so much...

prob go thru 14 litres of milk a week and as for fruit, the family are nuts for bananas ... then theres fruit for kindy too so i really dont know about that.

4L of milk per week
1 small box of weetbix lasts 3 months
Loads of fruit and vegetables
1Kg of cheese every 3 weeks
4 Loaves of bread per week

Wow!!!

2 boxes muesli bars
1l normal milk
1l lactose free milk

And I think that's the regular stuff we buy...oh and we always have eggs.

2.5L of Milk per week
7 Loaves of Bread (for sandwiches and toast)
1 tin of Formula

we buy about $40 of fruit and vege - whatever is in season.
eggs - a dozen every week - would buy more but I buy free range from a lady near work
flour
milk
frozen baby peas
garlic
a spice of some sort
couscous
pasta
spaghetti/baked beans
cereal of some kind - we hvae a mountain of leftover weetbix from the rugby cards.
not so much meat now as I bought a lamb

We always have

2-4 loaves of bread
3 litres of milk
Fruit sticks
Sausages
Tinned tomatoes
1 head brocolli
Frozen spinach
Eggs x 6
Rice
Bunch of bananas, sometimes 2

Yoghurts
$40 fruit and vege whatever is in season
dozen eggs
4 lt of milk
4lt of rice milk
1 kg cheese every 2wks
The girls pick a packet of crackers and a packet of museli bars per week
1 loaf of Bread
Mince and Chicken

 

hhhm can only really say in fortnightly amounts cos that's how often we go shopping,
so per fortnight:

1 big box of weetbix,
1 bag (500g) ricies
i bag (500g)cornflakes
1 bag cocoa pops(they just have a couple sprinkled on ricies every now and then)
3 - 4 loaves bread
8 litres milk on shopping day and usually another 2-4 later once its run out
1 dozen eggs
1 large block cheese
1 bag potatoes
1 big bag apples
oranges - 5-6
1 head brocolli
1 bag carrots
1 bag peas,1 bag, beans, 1 bag baby carrots, 1 bag mixed veges
any other veges that take our fancy, eg kumura, pumpkin (depends on what we're planning for dinners)
1 bunch bobby bananas(for brekkies)
5 packs of peaches (3 fruit cups each pack, again, these go on brekkies)
2 pakcs yogurt, (1 kids, 1 fruit)

we don't have too much to spend on lunches as mostly we aren't all home at lunch time. brekkies we alternate between weetbix one day and cereal or toast the next. we chuck in porridge as an alternative to weetbix during winter. fruit is a rule, they usually have half a container peaches and half a banana each on their brekkies, or with the toast etc. and we go through apples like wildfire.

haven't added in meat etc, but tend to buy lots of mince and chicken and lean cuts of beef/lamb/pork.

mostly we go through the milk/bread/cereal/fruit the quickest.

lolol Stacey, wait till Daniel is bigger.

our milk goes on brekkies, mashing potatoes, and plenty of milos all around. that and we do a mass of baking which takes up a lot.

Ours is fortnightly too

12L milk
5kg potatoes
1 kg carrots
3 brocolli heads
about $40 on fruit and other veges depending on whats on special
6 loaves of bread
2 kg of frozen mixed veges
I probably spend a good $60 on meat as well
