Yes, Sandi, you said “our local supermarkets” so clearly were not implying all of Australia. It was perfectly clear.
Sorry that is not clear at all - surely if she said “MY local super market” it would be local to her however “OUR local supermarkets” (as you so accurately quote) would include mine and every Australian’s supermarket.
LOCAL . Gosh, if that implies all Australia then it would be a pretty small place…
I’m afraid that I dump a lot of salad and veges. This is mainly because we are given more than we could eat by our friends at the market garden. We tend to inherit the unsold produce from the Farmers’ markets and there’s only so much salad you can eat!
rabbits would be a good investment - they eat the salads you eat them !
Oooooohhhh, I like the sound of that - I Lurve Rabbit casserole!!!
I wonder if there is anywhere you could donate that ? small animal rescues would likely have your hand off for free salad and veggies !

PARTY TIME 
More a ‘bum’ man myself .
Going over to the supermarket this morning…(I always forget something!)…I met my 3 doors away neighbours…
They said they were going for cut price meat and vegetables…and would go back around 15.45…when virtually everything was reduced…
The lady went on to tell me she had planned and bought the ingredients for the next 3 months meals…
Is this ‘‘frugal’’ or a form of OCD??
Hi, I’ve been exploring frugal living all my life. Mostly out of necessity, but sometimes stalking the next great bargain is just fun!
One of the things I do is have a kitchen garden. No, I don’t save a ton of money, but a penny saved is a penny earned. During the growing season, I never buy tomatoes, peppers, squash, scallions, carrots, radishes, or whatever else I’m growing. I’ve even had mild success with strawberries. I have also done very well with fresh herbs.
How about finding a nice fishing spot? What can be better than a meal that you grew and/or caught yourself? Picture this: a nice spring trout broiled with your favorite herbs, with some tasty vegtables on the side, with a bowl of strawberries and ( what you like, cream or milk ) as a nice finish. Yum.
sounds like a female version of claude jeremiah greengrass!
