Also anyone with young children, how expensive are things like nappies, baby food etc. in comparison? Nappies are not gr8 out here. Not a fan of huggies or snugglers. No pampers alas. The best fitting ones I have found a are baby love. Baby foods are also limited - with heinz and golden cicrle are the main brands. Formula is ok. Found a nestle one similar to apatamil. Bring whatever baby equipment you have as baby shops are rubbish out here. Not as many innovative products. |

Selected highlights from the latest bill ... these are mostly 'named brand' so you can buy cheaper ...

Try and get your veggies from a market if there is one. About 1/3 to 1/2 of the proce you pay at supermarkets and they are much nicer too! In fact one week got some juicy tomatoes for free and they made a gr8 tomato and basil soup. |

I find the vegies and meat at Coles etc not as good as some little local shop. There is a great chinese butchers in Randwick and cheaper than Coles. The meat is fantastic.
