I like a challenge. And I like doing things a bit differently from time to time.
Starting tonight, the household is going to feed themselves for a whole week on no more than $100 (to really simplify it, that's $50 each). This is easily achievable by any standard, however a lot of people would resort to cutting corners and cooking less complicated, plainer food. Seeing as this house loves gourmet, the challenge is to not only stick to the budget but create delicious dishes that minimise food wastage.
So, as is usual for the weekend and after a strategic menu writing and shopping list session, off we went to the market to buy some local produce and meat from the butcher.
Our total shopping bill came to $73.16, but that included two $4 pastries from Sweet Greek because I was hungry and we couldn't resist after trying a free sample. So let's just pretend we didn't relapse on that one.
Keep your eyes peeled over the course of the week for some great budget dinner ideas that are tasty to boot. Recipes will be included!
