Welcome to our Blog Site.

As things in this world become more expensive and
the only thing not going up is our wages,
and they start talking about a recession
-it can make wondering how we will eat
and make life enjoyable very stressful.

So I started this Blog to put together some cheap
and fun ideas for families, like mine,
that have to stick to a tight budget in order to survive.

**It is amazing the things you can come upwith feeding a family of 4 on$120 per fortnight!**

I hope that you find this useful, it will be being updated
all the time with new things.

All the food and activities I will be puttingon here,
I will have made myself before and I will work out
how much it will cost to make.

If you have any Recipes, Activity Idea's or anything
you would like to add please email me.

Also if you would like to be on the mailing list please
email me and you will get a email every time I update the Blog.

Pancakes - My Great Grandmother's Recipe


The BEST Spag Bol Sauce you will ever have!!

I originally recived this recipe from my cousin.
It is THE BEST Spag sauce I have ever tasted.

I can make this sauce for $4.
Then spag for $0.55
So all up, a meal for 4 and lunch for Hubby for $4.55!!!

The trick to making it cheap is........
I buy my mince from either my local butcher or Aldi, where I can get 2 KG's for $10.
I then bring it home and divide it into 4 and freeze it.
This way I can also stock up on my mince for a rainy day when I can't afford to buy it, and I am only buying it 1 X per month or so, and not every week.

Also - you are able to get a tin of Tomato Soup from Aldi for $0.99

I will surprised if you aren't satisfied with this!!


It is one of the only meals that I know my kids will CLEAN their plates for!
Also if you want to make a big batch - it freezes really, really, well!!
*** Side note - with the Paprika, Italian Herbs and Oregano - you can use whatever you like, I don't have measurements, just one of those things - you add as much or as little as you like ***
