Jul. 6th, 2011 11:45 pmI've been thinking about this whole living frugally business and came across this website:
http://www.stayathomemum.net.au/my-pantry/grocery-shopping/
It's a website that helps people live on one wage so that one parent can stay at home.
Apparently you can grocery shop for $50 a week. This woman shops for her meat only every 8 months. Here is here dinner list:
Dinners: Bacon & Egg Pie, Spaghetti Bol, Beef Chow Mein, Sausages in Pastry, Devilled Sausages, Pasta Cabonara, Apricot Chicken Legs, Savoury Mince on Toast, Spaghetti & Meatballs, Roast Chicken, Chicken Pasta. All are either served with vegies or have vegies in them.
SCREW THAT. I would definitely find work, even one day a week or something, extra work I can do at home, maybe clean someone's house for an hour or two, just so I can get some fish into the family diet. Maybe some fresh meat that isn't minced or cooked to smithereens. Also - how fatty does that all sound? It's all creamy sauces or pastry or sausages! Or sausages in pastry!
That is all.
