Vegetables are going through the roof in the near future.
Time to start that patch....

Yep, exactly. My grocery bill is astronomical at the moment, and I
buy little crap/pre-packaged, lots of veg.


I thought it was just me...ours seems to rise every week, and we
don't buy much luxury stuff...although come to think of it, fresh
fruit and vegies is a luxury these days.

Yep.
I wonder at house with pantries full of chips and bikkies. Yummo and all
that .. but how do they afford it ?!

A 1kg packet of choc biccies is about 3.99 a kilo of apples is 5.99 min. at
Coles; don't get me started on grapes, bananas, etc. 2 min noodles are
cheap; cooking a dietician approved diet of varied vegies, dairy, healthy
carbs, etc is exxy nowadays; we spend 2-3 hundred a week for us and 2
toddlers and that's mostly fruit veg, and other healthy stuff; when we had
less money and had about half that to spend we just couldn't afford vegies
other than carrots, frozen peas, onions and potatoes. Okish but not my
preferred diet for raising children. Unfortunately the drought looks like
making things worse; sustainable home gardening seems the only answer. DH is
very interested in hydroponic gardening, but that will have to wait until we
get our own place.
