Weeks 1 & 2

So it all started about 4 weeks ago, I fine tuned the budget and wondered was it really possible for us to live off $350 a fortnight?  I decided to do up a menu plan on some scrap paper, then try and work out an online shopping order to match the menu plan and see if the sums added up.  Like many working mums with two little kids, trying to find time to do the groceries is not easy.  Its usually squeezed in between other things, with hungry or tired kids in tow.  Anyway the first fortnight ended and we had only spent $302.  I was so proud, and this time thought I'd try and get even more value for our money.
