This was relatively stress-free as the number of things we needed was dictated by our budget - $35 x 2. At woolies we spent about $18 and this got us cottage cheese, 2 litres of milk, tinned tomatoes, 59 cent spaghetti, frozen spinach and not much else. It took all of 10 minutes and at this made me wonder if maybe extreme cost cutting is the way to go. However, this morning at Paddy’s Market (Haymarket) was more of a trial. We only had one shopping bag with us and I had decided we needed to buy heaps of fruit because we never eat fruit so now is obviously the time to start. We spent about half our budget there and walked out with more fruit and veg than we could carry. I wondered how we'd feed ourselves on such a budget if we didn't have a really cheap market nearby.]]> http://www.corridorkitchen.com/2011/10/day-2-the-big-shop-and-everything-summer-salad/feed/ 3
