We then 'top' up as and when with the fresh veggies so its pretty variable depending on what we fancy for tea.

Then there's the Costco once a month run which is usually around $200 for the two of us...bulk stuff like drinks, cereal in humungus jumbo packs, Pataks curry sauce (just discovered that last week), and the meat is pretty good, although with just two of us we miss a lot of the stuff out as its just too big a packet for us!

For the Costco lovers among you, there is a Costco liquor store at the Calgary Beacon Hill Costco which often has some good beer and booze bargains. I don't think you even have to be a member to shop in the liquor store part but others can correct me if I'm wrong. However, since I've been pregnant, the liquor store bill has dropped to pretty much zero these days
