We’ve just had a long weekend here. Yesterday was a public holiday for the Queens Birthday – it was so nice to have that extra day off work!  I’ve been sick with a cold so DD did the shopping for me. We needed to spend $50 at Coles for points. We had plenty of veggies left so this week so our total spend this week was:

Coles
Total spent: $65.81
total saved; $7.64

Its been quite cold here so we’re using up our tinned soups and also making casseroles and stews out of meat in the freezer. I feel like I am finally making a dent in our stockpile and in the freezer – but I still have quite a way to go. My plan is to get it down over the winter so I clean out the pantry/storeroom in spring.

It concerns me a bit that I’m starting to get sick often – a sure sign I’m getting run down. I slept for a few hours every afternoon the last few days. Work is catching up with me again I think but I should get a bit of a break in a few weeks when its end of term.
