Bump.. Just looked at this on the No. 1 Aussie Cheapskate. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pBaigBih23w I am going to confess to one cheapskate habit I have, my children make fun of me doing this, unless they need one. I save unmarked stamps. Amazing how many stamps I collect and reuse...

What... no hash browns or grits, that's disgraceful:p

Do share please, always looking for other options. Maggie Also, its great to support local supplier, but I believe it will ultimately come down to price, larger supermarket chains will be more competitive.

Oops.. I think I mentioned Mexico:p

Yes in Perth, Torre Butchers and Mondos http://www.torre.com.au/ http://www.yelp.com.au/biz/mondos-inglewood

OK, I see what you are getting at, thanks:)

Food can be an addiction for many which seems to be something that is ignored in society, I do not understand why??

Hi Cimbom I thought we were discussing obesity rates, your stats don't necessarily correlate I expect there will be many reasons why this is the case?? Cheers MTR

All I can say is I have been to Italy many times, all my family are from Lake Como, I don't see obese, overweight people in this part of the world. They are too vain about fashion and fitting into their skinny leg jeans;)

You wont starve. I also notice some of the restaurants have competitions, eat massive steaks the size of a house and the meal is free, that sounds like fun:eek: Food is so cheap compared to Oz.

Hi K I am not surprised. I lived in US some years ago and when we went back to US 2 years ago, I could not believe the huge meal serves at restaurants, its insane, no wonder there are so many obese people in US. No doggy for these guys, they just eat the lot. Also, I found it interesting...

If this is the case you guys need to try living the "Freeganism" lifestyle;). Watched a show featured in UK on this, most of their food comes from shopping dumpsters, food rejected by the likes of Coles/Woolies etc. Could spend as little as $8 per month. Make sure you wear the right attire...

Damn it, however if you go to Farmer Jacks, Girrawheen well there are many cheap cuts of meat, very good value. You can purchase magnificent duck cooked Chinese style for $18 cheap:)

Hi Sanj But times are achanging??? not all cheaper meat cuts are actually cheap anymore, prices for these are rising. Cooks like Jamie O have started a trend, rustic cooking...using cheaper cuts in various recipes and they are becoming very popular. Lamb shanks were always...
