They seem to be rolled so loosely here - a couple of visits and it's all over.

I've found white Quilton Classic 3 ply approx $10 for 18 rolls from Woollies is the best value. And they don't pong of perfume either
My Sis in law buys 2 ply for her family and uses more...so it's a false economy....but she's a tight arse ...errr..not literally of course
What a shite topic of conversation

Re: How much do you spend?
Thanks for the suggestions!
Quite interesting to see the looks I get as I'm going around Perth supermarkets squeezing and sniffing toilet rolls.
If you see me - say hello!

Mince meat (not the cheapest) £3 a kilo
I spend £150 per week for family of 5 shopping at ASDA. That is with no booze and no junk food.

Go to Kwik save and buy some 2 ply grey looking bog roll

This is for a family of 5-2adults 13,7 & 4year old kids.oh & a dog!
This total includes the dogs food for a month,1x15k soap powder,5litre fab conditioner + about $100 on things like toothpaste,shampoo,toilet roll,deodorant etc...
We dont eat allot of junk,sweets for the kids are kept to a minimum,i have a homemade cooked meal on the table 5 nights out of 7 at least,weekends we tend to shove a pizza in the oven or hot dogs,burgers etc..
I would loved to have kept a monthly total of how much i spent on a months food shopping back home to compare them.
We all have good healthy appetites,even the kids but I'm sure i could cut back on just how much i am spending? or is this total about normal for a family of 5? what do you lot spend or what do you think you spend ??
