Common questions

Budget shopping questions, answered

What does the weekly total include?

The total is the ingredient cost of the seven dinners at four serves each, using curated product matches and the current cheapest-way-to-shop estimate. It does not include breakfasts, lunches, snacks, or pantry top-ups.

Is feeding a family of four for under A$100 realistic?

For dinners, yes — this page proves it with live prices and the total usually lands well under the line. Your whole grocery shop depends on what else goes in the trolley, which is why the number here is stated as a dinners-only figure.

What if we don't want to eat the cheapest seven dinners?

Treat this page as the floor. In the planner you can swap any dinner for one your household actually wants and watch the weekly total move as you go — most swaps add a dollar or two per serve, still far under A$100.

Do the prices change?

Prices are re-checked weekly around the Wednesday catalogue change, including specials, and this page re-computes its total from the latest scan. The last-checked date is shown above.
