I dragged myself in to do grocery shopping today (feeling uninspired about meals lately).
I got a great deal on Extra Virgin Olive Oil, $2.99 per 1 Litre bottle, so I bought 3 bottles. This brand is worth $9.99 per bottle normally! Last time I paid around $25 for a 4 Litre tin of a different brand. So we will be fine for olive oil now for quite a few months!
Next to coffee, I would say that olive oil is one of our higher priced grocery items.
Also while I was shopping, I accidently picked up a reciept for someone elses shopping which was in my trolley. When I got home I realised it wasn't mine, but I read through it anyway (am I the only one that likes doing this?)
$318 for 77 items. And you know, this person has spent soooo much money on cleaning and insect products. Amazing. I'm not going to bother adding it up, but I would say it's somewhere in the vicinity of $80. I would be quick to say it might be a 'bulk' shop, but the rest of the docket indicates this is a weekly shop. Gosh, I just want to find this person and shake them!

BTW- did you notice how the previous shopper did not even hang onto their receipt? Something tells me they don't follow the cardinal money saving rules.
