I managed to stay under the limit today, even with Karen's last-minute additions to the list. To be fair, Thursday morning only just started being considered "last-minute" a couple of weeks ago, but this week has been so busy that I actually started the shopping on Wednesday, and I can see where that might become a regular thing.
The big bargains this week included Raguletto pasta sauce at Woolworths for $1 (I bought 20), Doritos salsa at Supa IGA for $1.69 a jar (I bought 4), and chicken breasts for $6.99 a kilo (I bought 6 kg/18 single breasts) and chorizo for $9.99 a kilo (I bought 1.5 kilo/10 links) at Supabarn.
Yeah, SIX KILOGRAMS of chicken breasts. I have no idea what happened. I asked for 2 kilos, and the girl behind the counter gave me 6 kilos. And right about the time I was going to correct her, I decided that I might as well take 'em. They were at their best price, I've got space in the freezer, and they're going to get eaten, so why not? I juggled the list a little, and managed to stay within budget, so I'm happy with it.
I'm also very happy with the $1 pasta sauce, and honestly wish I had more shelf space, because I would've bought more. I can't make it myself for that price, and even though it doesn't taste all that great, I add so much to it that it really doesn't matter.
It's 5:30 now, and I've been on the go since 7:30 this morning, and in 10 minutes I have to get dressed and go to work. But it was worth it.
