how can the average aussie family survive?, page-2

Hi Rebel.

We are 2 adults 3 kids with a grocery budget of $260 p/w. This covers food, cleaning products, toiletries etc anything that you buy from the supermarket.

Does your food budget only cover food? Or does it cover these other items also?

I would like to know how you manage on $175 p/w because we are certainly careful with how we spend the money at the supermarket.

Anyone else have tips to make the food/grocery budget go further?
