What a win with your specials and your beautiful meal plan. I do my meal plan around what I already have at home in conjunction with the specials. FYI Do you know that you can look up all the catalogues up online? I have the Woolworths and Coles apps and the specials catalogue for the upcoming Wednesday is available from 5pm Monday night, so that's when I start my planning as far as the shopping goes and then go and do my groceries on Wednesday or do a click and collect for Wednesday. It is so much easier seeing the specials earlier and also sometimes there is online only specials, that are not available in store.

Thank you 🤍 I was pretty happy with my specials this week. I do have the woolies app but I always forget about it so thanks for the reminder. I don't always get catalogues in the mail and if I do they get thrown out so it was different for me to sit down with a cuppa ☕️ and go through them. But I will have to look at my apps from now on. Thank you x

I’ve started doing a monthly meal plan which has saved me time!

Definitely have a plan when I grocery shop. I never used to, but then found I was just adding to a pantry that was already full. Have slowly been whittling down the stock levels by "shopping" my pantry/fridge/freezer first. I also saw someone who does a big cook up of everything in her freezer just before she goes shopping and puts it all in containers for lunches during the week. I think that's such a great idea. Also, it's so funny to hear you saying vegetarian when you eat fish and seafood. All my veggie friends don't eat any animal meat at all, but they still have eggs, dairy and honey. Whereas my vegan friends cut that out too, and they make the most amazing food. Honestly I would totally live on a vegan diet only my doctor is also concerned about my iron levels so suggested having red meat twice a week. I'm a bit naughty and don't always but I always make sure to take my iron tablets every three days. Hopefully your iron levels stabilise soon x

Yeah I have tried pretty much every kind of diet. I was strict vegan for 4 years, no dairy, no meat, no eggs, no honey etc. Then I got really sick. I don't think it was veganism at all it was just my body and really bad eating habits. I went back to eating meat and just didn't like it so I went vegetarian. Recently I started eating fish. But I still say vegetarian 🤷🏽‍♀️ I don't really like labels. I just eat what I think my body needs at the time. But my favourite way of eating I guess is dairy free, meat free and clean foods.

[@taniasarah5616]

@@bossgirlbudgets Yes labels just create division I think. I kind of eat 80-90% 'clean' and 10-20% dirty (haha that's my chips and chocolate). Hardly any alcohol, as I just don't really love it. And you'll feel sad for me on this, but I can really only drink one coffee per day, if that, some days I skip it entirely. I just don't enjoy it if I have a second one!! Viva la difference x

Def NEED to meal plan, and buy per the meal plan. We are like “what should we do for dinner” like everyday it’s so stressful. I’ll try and write a list tomorrow and online shop only the list. Thanks for the inspiration :) oh and PS my daughter loves her Wednesday and cheetah bookmarks!!!

[@bossgirlbudgets]

Oh yay! I'm so glad she loves them 🤍
