      same, so many of my purchases are bulk on sale only

      for example, last week I bought 2 5kg bags of rice at half price

      even so my costs are through the roof

      after a discussion with husband we are shopping at aldi from now on, this should save at least $400 a month

        Yeah I’m done with Coles and woollies. That’s literally double what it was a couple of weeks ago.

      I’m kind of glad I went back to hand wash because the Earth Choice dish soap costs $2 a bottle compared to dishwasher detergents

  woolies on line used to have lists of your past shops with past prices, that way we could incidentally track prices, woolies stopped that, only current prices are listed

  as I said, print outs are the only way

    Olive oil prices have gone absolutely mad. I try to buy aussie made EVOO when I can anyway. Top quality and generally cheaper than the imported brands.

      the local ones are strong tasting, I just use oil for cooking so want very low olive oil taste

        Have you tried something other than olive oil for cooking? Coconut works well for many things, smoke point is a bit low, but not terrible.

    Buy these tins when the new season oil arrives, and they are moving older stock out of the warehouse - half price easily. And plenty good enough for everyday cooking and non-salad uses.

  I’m noticing it too. How the hell do I pay so much when I eat so little??
