• Weekly Supermarket Bill •
Feb 23^rd, 2023 at 11:25pm

I’ve just finished my weekly Supermarket shop (Woolworths Online - to be picked up tomorrow afternoon by the hubby on his way home from work).

Observation - Everything has gone up again.

I always look for sale items PLUS I use my accumulated Rewards points which essentially takes $10 off each shop’s total. I always boost all my offers and I type in my special discount codes which are sent through. Tonight’s discount code which was sent to me took $15 off the total.

Still - every single item is expensive.

Is this what you are experiencing also??

I buy from greengrocers, butchers, bakers etc. Supermarkets are OK for organic unhomogenised milk, Golden North ice cream etc. NOT meat/fruit/veg!

Avocados are good for your heart. I recently planted my own Avocado tree. I grew the plant from a seed. Now all I need to do is wait (apparently 5+ years) before I see 1 avocado ffs!

$70/kilo is pretty vile hey.

I slow roasted a lamb leg yesterday (oh gosh it was tender and yummy) and I threw in some spuds which I had growing in the garden. I also threw in some home grown cherry tomatoes (they’re still growing here and don’t my neighbours know it because I keep seeing them crawling around my gardens picking them and giving me a wave lol). I also found I had heaps of carrots in the fridge so I threw 6 into the roast later on too.

Anyway THAT lamb leg cost me $45. It fed 6 people (I did sneak some of the inner meat which escaped my Mediterranean marinade for our Golden Retriever who sat faithfully in the kitchen guarding the oven from afar thinking that roast was all his).

Absolutely no left overs though.

I’m currently trying to work out tonight’s dinner. My husband is picking up our online shop on the way home from work later on this afternoon. Some of those items would have come in handy right NOW.

food prices should continue to rise

we are eating last years grain and russia and ukraine are world leaders in grain.
without them, supplies should be running out about now.

beef and milk require energy inputs and milk especially needs labour.

so big hikes there.

pork has seen some nasty swine flus as has chickens.
i think eggs are now up to $27 a dozen in USA

all in all, hard times ahead.

food production and energy production are the key drivers of a good standard of living.

the west doesnt value farmers or miners and does quite a lot to sabotage their efforts.

you reap what you sew.

or in the current case, what you dont sew.

living standards peaked in 2019.

its all downhill from here \for the urban chode.

maybe see if clauss schwab will buy you some groceries.
