I also bought two pots of herbs - mint & coriander - for $5. If we can grow our own it will save a lot, just have to keep them alive!
In the fridge I still have some veggies from last week to use up and there is some fruit left that is going a bit soft so I'll juice that up later today. We've been eating lots of salads this week, had a lovely one with red & green cabbage, capsicum, red onion, coriander and shredded chicken. I have mine with a few papadums for crunch and DD has crispy wontons on hers. The goal this week is to cut out the sugar completely.

I've never made coleslaw, but have seen a few great & easy recipes for it. I'll definitely give it a try. Great deal on the apples!
Coleslaws good if you like a lot of crunchy food.
That is a healthy grocery shopping trip. You bought ingredients exclusively instead of mixes and premade. Good for you and family.
Most of our budget is spent on food. I should read these posts carefully.
