Our savings on this shop were $16.71. I didn't use any flybuys points this shop. There are a few items here that just make it easier to make lunches in a hurry- the shredded carrot, the kaleslaw. We both come home for lunch and usually make a sandwich, salad, or leftovers. Buying a bunch of kale is expensive and would be a waste whereas a small precut kale salad gets used - its lovely stir fried with a bit of olive oil & some baby tomatos, and shredded carrot on salads & sandwichs.
Eating healthy is important to me for two reasons - one I have numerous health issues and diet makes a huge difference - two - I grew up poor and lived on cheap, processed foods and as a result my health suffered - so I know the impact of a poor diet over many years and I'm doing my best to remedy it so we can have a healthy old age.

I spent around $150 this week, but the majority of it was on a gift card, so feeling good about that.
I have many allergies, but I have been deemed picky, which I am not! We were too poor for processed food, so I ate many fruits and vegetables along with meats and dairy which we always had. In many ways I ate better back then.
its great when you can use gift cards & vouchers - really helps!
yes, aside from all my allergies I actually would eat almost anything,
I have to keep reminding myself that when I come to your blog and I need to convert your AU $s to US $s to understand when you "really" spend/save. ;-)
