I serve breakfast too and cater to vegetarian, vegan, gluten and egg free diets. I manage to stay around the $8000 mark by watching grocery store websites like a hawk. As soon as the weekly flyers come out on line, I check them all over and buy most things on special - gear my next week's menu on that. The following week's menu is based on what's left over from the previous shop and I top up if I need to. Trying sooooo hard to eliminate as much wasted as I can.

I get very, very excited when toilet paper goes on sale. I currently have around 200 double roles in my garage storage because they went on for 30 double roles for $12! I KNOW....Excellent!!! !!

Jeez that's sad, isn't it.....
