Great toothpaste special.
I walked to  New World supermarket this morning and bought 30 tubes of toothpaste. It was a 2 tubes for $3 special. The price is usually $2.29  for one, so a saving of 79c per tube. So a total saving of $23.70!

On Monday when I did my usual two week grocery shop I bought lots of jam.( 16 large jars) The jars were 900gr for $2.89 and usually $3.69, a nice saving of 80c per jar. I saved $12.80!

Weetbix( breakfast cereal) was also on special for $3.99 for a 1 kg box. I bought 6 boxes for our Sunday breakfasts. This should last us until the end of the year. The standard price was $6.70!  A saving of $16.20.

I also managed to buy some baby toothbrushes at New World this morning for 50c each. I stocked up on 10, as I usually only see small toothbrushes for $3-4!

Over the past 2-3 months I have bought quite a lot of specials ( stock) which will last us until the end of the year. I've subtracted my total grocery spendings to date for this year from our budgeted total. Then I divided this remaining amount over 34 weeks to work out how much I should be spending from now on for groceries.This helps to keep me on track!

I love being a stay at home mum with our six beautiful children from the Lord. Each day we strive to live faithfully for Him in thankfulness for His gift of full and free salvation.
