We obviously eat very differently!
Box of weet bix and 2l of milk = a week's breakfast.
loaf of bread and jar of peanut butter = a week's lunches.
5x coles roast chook, 5 pack of steamed veg = 5 of 7 dinners
Then get yourself a fillet burger combo from KFC once a week, and a pint and parmy deal once a week at the pub.
Add in half a dozen of each apples and bananas for snacks during the week.
Weetbix - $6.00
Milk - $3.00
loaf of bread - $4.40
Jar of peanut butter - $5.40
Chooks - $12.50 x 5 = $62.50
Veg - $5.00
6 bananas - $5.00
6 apples - $5.50
KFC fillet burger combo - $11.45
pint and parmy deal - $25.
-------
$133.25
Enough left over for a tub of ice cream and a packet of mixed lollies for the odd dessert.
Sure, its not the most glamorous set of meals, but once again, we get down to choices. Are you trying to get into the housing market, or are you wanting to eat out 5 nights a week?
Son continually eats into his savings but then I see a shitload of kfc and maccas bags in his car…….and he ain’t doing doordash! Pisses me off, especially when I have 2 freezers full of gourmet food, there would have to be 10 kilo of rib-eyes and scotchies in there amongst a plethora of other fine food.
