- Join me as I do my family grocery haul for the week. Like every family we are looking for ways to stretch the grocery budget, which can be hard when food prices are so high. How does this compare to the cost of groceries in your country?

Good one ❤
I love grocery shopping trips from other countries, it really makes you understand the culture right? I'm from Germany but I live in Japan now and love exploring the supermarkets here! 😍
Yes I think we all love looking at supermarkets and food items from other countries hey! Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment.
I have found that sometimes it is cheaper to buy the smaller bags of sugar (and make up to the weight you are after)if they are on special.
Absolutely, this is a great way to save a little if you look at cost per 100g rather than the price on the label in general hey
In Australia at Woolies ours is 3 packs of meat for $15 and chicken mince is currently just $5.50 a half kilo.
Half a kilo of beef mince is $6.50 and a kilo is $11 for the same as yours 13% fat
Pork mince is $6 for 500 grams or $8 for 800 grams
The nut bar pack is $6 but half price often same with shapes, normally $4 but last week they were $2 a pack
Necafe box of Cappuccino is $11
2 kg of flour plain is $2.70 we dont have bigger bags than that
2 kilos of white sugar is $2.85 and 3 kilos is $4.25 we dont have 1.5 kilos here but for 1 kilo its $2.00
cat food prices have jumped here a 12 pack of sachets cost $14.50
Purina one urinary care cat food 12 pack is on special this week for $13.50 saving $3.50
egg prices are up so its $5.00 for the basic cage free dozen and then more expensive if buying free range which can go up to $9.00
Cheese prices are insane. For a kilo block of tasty cheese is $9.50 and $9.50 for 700 grams for grated and these are just the Woolies brand.
I shop for 3 adults for breakfast lunch and dinner for 7 days and have also 2 Chihuahuas and 2 cats where I buy a chicken mince 2kgs foir $11 that they all eat.
But my shopping after buying meat, meals for the week, toilet rolls , cat biscuits and dog biscuits etc including snacks usually cost me anywhere between $200 and $250.
Our meals are simple including things like, spaghetti Bolognese, stir fry chicken Hokkien noodles, butter chicken and rice, Shepard's pie, Stew Chilli con Carne over jacket potatoes
Lasagna to name a few. Bearing in mind this total was only $120 two years ago .
Hope this helps, Rachel xx
Rachel thankyou for your detailed comment! Really appreciate you taking the time. I usually shop at woolies as well, so our prices are similar hey. Its funny what we do for our animals!
I remember how hard it was to stick to a grocery budget when my kids were teens. Of course, teens aren't as motivated to eat less processed or cheaper items. They want those popular, tasty items over meat/starch/fruit or veg 3x a day. My kids are all adults now. Only 2 currently live at home. Once they started working part-time, I started a rule. If they didn't like what I bought, they could purchase their own foods/snacks for themselves. It helped a lot! I haven't had to really increase my budget since 2020, even though prices have skyrocketed. We currently spend $1100/month on groceries, including hygiene & cleaning products.♥️🇨🇦
Hi from Canada 👋🏻 I stock up on ground beef (what we call beef mince) when it is $3.99/lb. So your package would cost me $6.58 CAD, $8 NZD. It is interesting to see how prices compare in different places! Ground beef is a staple meat for my family, we can’t afford to buy more expensive cuts! We are a family of 8 on a single income. I think the total cost of your haul would be pretty similar for me here.
Hi Kim, thankyou for taking the time to watch my videos. Beef of all kinds is a staple here as well and its very versatile, so thats helpful in this current economical climate for many families.
I spend £60 a week & no waist ❤
The no waste is a game changer hey. We could all save so much if we weren't throwing away too much food!
