Back in my university days, I would do a $50/fortnight shop. I would only top up on bread and milk when I needed them. I recall the time we had some kind of levy applied to fruit and vegetables to help with the farmers during the drought. But, ever since 2010, my grocery bill has increased to $200/fortnight, up from $100/fortnight. Even back in the days of 2010, I could get quite a bit for $100.

$200 a fortnight is actually quite good.

No supermarket shopping this weekend.

I gave everyone the hint that we are breaking away from the weekly cycle of shopping at Big W and Woolworths. It will be a fortnightly event from now on.

We have 3 upside down fridges (we had 2 then grabbed Mum’s new fridge after she passed) and each of these HAD freezer compartments full to the brim. These are now 3/4 full. It means food is being used up because even frozen food can’t stay frozen for more than 3 months IMO. Our pantry cupboard is no longer full (thank God) and I’m pushing food which needs to be used up sooner .... forward so I can grab the product more readily.

I really do recommend fortnightly shopping. It cuts down on petrol usage, impulse buying and it means what food you have in your fridge, freezer and pantry gets used up sooner than later.

Then the idiot will say he didn’t mind losing the C&Cs election tho it obviously rankles even now! He seems to be working from a theory that I won the election due to sock votes.

Get over it, Jason! Accept you lost and ask FD for Womens Issues, Atheism or Fringe modships.

I didn't mind losing the C&C election Monk.
Even said to VIC "I'm not really into winning this." Wink

I was relieved that you won Monk. So how that still rankles me, I do not know? Though I'm sure you hope that it does, just to make your insecurity of 'how' you won, less guilty.

How will you feel Monk, if Aussie came clean on how many 'fake votes' you got to rip the Members off on this fine Forum to attain 'a' Modship for yourself?

Will you answer with integrity or hide behind your blathering? Grin

He will feel quite okay. No sock vote was counted. No sock of mine voted. You can abandon that crap.

Then why did you say a few weeks back to the kind at Monk something about "Last time I help stack votes in your favour Monk." I'll try to find the exact post and wording that gave me this impression. If I don't, then I'll forget about it. My loss.

Really, Elections should only have active Member votes. That is, only Members who have posted in the last 3 months and more than 5 posts, to void dormant socks. VIC, doing a good job of it - could only dismiss the obvious socks. Saves Members calling in other people from elsewhere to join, just to vote for them.
