I always thought winter food would be more expensive but i have found it cheaper as well. I guess because you buy crap steak for stew and one pumpkin becomes a whole meal ]]> Fri, 08 Apr 2011 18:50:27 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38702&PID=1302661&title=winter-shop#1302661 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38702&PID=1301757&title=winter-shop#1301757 Author: Nothing

PNS has a big special on this week for watties cans- fruit, tomatoes, baked beans, spaghetti. Perfect for me as I was running low so I stocked up, no need to get any for a while! We have a local vege shop that you can pick your own at which makes it much cheaper than anywhere else. ]]> Thu, 07 Apr 2011 14:51:11 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38702&PID=1301757&title=winter-shop#1301757 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38702&PID=1301738&title=winter-shop#1301738 Author: _SMS_

I do also find its cheaper. But really depends what things are on special at your local supermarket.

Our cheapest potatoes are $7 for a 3kg bag which really isnt much and doesnt last long.

Casserole steak is great though, you dont need much meat in the slow cooker just bulk it up with vege]]> Thu, 07 Apr 2011 14:23:37 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38702&PID=1301738&title=winter-shop#1301738 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38702&PID=1301694&title=winter-shop#1301694 Author: AandCsmum

I went to PnS last night expecting to get bulk items cheaper, they didn't have the flour or things like that in bulk. Was a bit peeved really especially as it's not very close to us.]]> Thu, 07 Apr 2011 13:45:48 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38702&PID=1301694&title=winter-shop#1301694 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38702&PID=1301591&title=winter-shop#1301591 Author: thunderwolves1

so when I did my food shop this week I did it with making winter meals in mind, so lots of soups, caseroles, homemade pies etc, and very surprisingly it was about $30 less than i have been spending in recent weeks...not often i leave the supermarket feeling good about what i have spent...
i only went to pak n save, no butchers or veges shops but have to say i got heaps of food,
lots and lots of potatos, kumura, pumpkin etc, and a big variety of other veges,
slow cooker meats, all the ingredients to make fresh bread,
and i stocked up on tins of food,
maybe by focussing on cooking much simpler healthy meals is what will save my budget..]]> Thu, 07 Apr 2011 12:16:19 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38702&PID=1301591&title=winter-shop#1301591
