It is a tad expensive to be constantly eating out. The shops tend to close rather early especially the weekends and the closing hours are not consistent throughout the whole week. Thus, it is always a good option to cook. We had lots of fun at the supermarket, discussing about the dishes that we want to eat and thinking of what ingredients to get. We felt like a family thinking about the week’s worth of breakfast, lunch and dinner.
There are several supermarkets that we can shop from. Coles and Aldi sells food items at relatively cheap prices, so we recommend getting your stuff from there. For us, the closest was Coles at Queen Street while Aldi was located at the West End, which needs a bus ride. (Note: If you are going to buy groceries from Aldi, do remember to bring your own bags. They do not provide plastic bags!)
If you ever feel slightly lazy or need your meat fix, we highly recommend getting the Roast Chicken from Woolworths for dinner. It costs $9 for the whole chicken!
Cooking is always a good time to bond. Everyone chips in to cut, peel, chop and cook the ingredients while we chat about everything under the sun. Here are some shots of our lunches and dinners that we have cooked so far!!
