I haven't had time to spend on Trade Me threads for some time now and haven't read this one for months! In fact I thought it was gone. I think I still have that document somewhere and after Wednesday (that's when my final Uni assignment is due) I'll try to find it for you. Only thing is I'll need your email. If you take the first part of our user name and add loveday to it - no gaps - and send to the hot place it should get to me then I can send it! Hope that makes sense.
Cheers

| 1505 | Well for those on a budget this week at PnS Albany I got 2 huge pumkins for 99c each and about 5Kg of Rump steak for $8.99 Kg and the topside roast was $6.99 thats fairly good value I reckon. Had some of the steak for dinner tonight it was very nice and reasonably tender. I also got a 1/2 Kg of ox kidney so will do a big batch of steak and kidney with lots of veg in the slow cooker when I am on night shift next week. beaker59 - 2011-06-15 21:18:00 |

Plan to have a big soup making session on the weekend. I find an Icecream container perfect size for a family meal for 4 The other night I got an Icecream container of "Pumpkin Kumera & Peanut" Soup out of the freezer at about 5pm, put it in a big pot on low... grabbed some foccaicia from the freezer as well ( I buy 2 to 3 loaves when I see it reduced to clear)... continued doing what I was doing and we were all eating half an hour later... no stress, no bother, healthier ... minimum cost. toadfish - 2011-06-16 05:39:00 |

| 1538 | Now I worked it out that for $4.20 per person in your family, you could have a main and a dessert from these 15 recipes so with just mains and a dessert each night thats $60 for us two which is probably what I would spend as we are only home at night and for breakfast so oce you add on your loo roll shampoo, conditioner, lunch wrap, fruit, bread,muesli bars, & cereals etc etc i normally spend around $120 for the two of us a week.
*All prices are worked out on a full bag, tin or packet divided by quantity required kob - 2011-06-18 08:22:00 |

| 1540 | Thanks kob
Just found what i was looking for a the end of your thread, had to scroll thru the whole thread thou and what do you know was at the end, at some stage am gunna try and make your home made washing powder, thanks for all the helpful hints and tips angel361 - 2011-06-19 16:25:00 |
| 1541 | thanks angel, the washing powder was great but i did find because I was wearing alot of white clothes a the time I was having to wash them twice becasue the HM powder wasnt gving them that white clean look, they looked abit grey. And if I used a commerial powder in the machine to wash the clothes with i would have to do an empty wash to clean the scum that would come out of the machine,beore ontinuing with the HM liquid. Saved a heap of money though,and was easy as to make, and great or allergies kob - 2011-06-20 06:13:00 |
| 1542 | Just reading all of the costing threads and remember Sophie Grey (Destitute Gourmet) saying that it is often cheaper to add in a pudding to a meal than making a bigger meal. Certainly looks like it to me now. gardie - 2011-06-20 06:46:00 |
| 1543 | yes thats what i started doing when the kids became teenages, otherwise they would leave the table say they were extremeley full then 1 hour later they would have 6 pieces of toast or 6 weetbix so we discovered that by having a pudd 1 hour after tea it saved on the cereals ands bread, and look at the prices i mean they are as cheap as chips kob - 2011-06-20 13:33:00 |
| 1544 | Phew Page 3...... Wonder why the seach wouldn't bring it up. toadfish - 2011-06-23 06:36:00 |
| 1545 | Thats alot of work KOB... good for you, I think you have been very generous with your pricing and it actually works out less ... which is a good thing. I buy flour for about $3 bag,,, so 1.5 cups would be less than a $1... Its not a criticism at all... I am just saying it's even better than it looks.... I hope people read it.... as theres a wealth of information in those posts. Its back to coleslaw in this house... popped into New World at Lunchtime yesterday and tomatoes were $12.95 a kilo!!! I don't need tomatoes that badly.. even at the vegie shop later in the day they we $6 for a 800gm bag, But I got a huge Cabbage and a Bag carrots for $4... that will last us all week.... We quite like the combination of Roasted Vegetables, coleslaw and beetroot. I did manage to get a tray of venison sausages at New World reduced to clear at $3.. will be nice on the BBQ or does anyone have any suggestions????
Boneless Chicken Breast is $10.89 windback at Countdown this week so a good time to stock up. Have a great day all toadfish - 2011-06-23 06:44:00 |
