Not sure if you have access to an Aldi food store but if you do buying the same range of food should be a lot cheaper there. Probably save at least $50 on a $250 buy. Different brands but its all pretty good stuff.

What Kallen has hit on is a basic life skill to be able to manage a household budget. Well done mate for getting there.
What is frustrating is that this essential life skill is not taught in schools. I was fortunate to have a dad who was a senior business leader and taught me the skill of running a budget early in life but not everyone has access to that other than through their schools. In this day and age personal financial confidence should be a mandatory skill taught at schools to prepare young adults for what the traps, pitfalls and sharks that lurk in the world today, just waiting to drain their finances.
Rant over! LOL

Good post Drew, unfortunately my parents were terrible with money and destined to be broke forever. I learned nothing about financial management at home and ended up blowing most of my money most weeks. Had a great time though!!!

I 100% agree with you that school should teach basic household budgeting. TeChng me how to annualized my expenses early in life would have help immensely.

We blow $150 a week just on a loan.
Soon to have that rolled into house loan and seeing as we pay extra into the house well get an extra $150 a week.
