I decided to do a “fuck it I’m going to get whatever I want” supermarket run.
Now, this is probably a weeks worth of food with a few treats, nothing extravagant. ( a whole block of cheese instead 500gm, some bacon, some apples and nectarines).
And all the cat stuff for about half a week.
Two hundred and ten fucking dollars! I’m one person!!! I don’t even eat that much!!!
Plus a bakers dozen or so of cats. The strays stuff cost around 35 a week so it’s not a huge deal at the moment.
Man. Never going to woollies or Coles again. Fucking aldi convert right here.
Also one on the corner of Johnson & Brunswick streets in Fitzroy. Cheeee selection is probably not as good, but has vast quantities of alternative ‘milks’.
Yeah, I don’t cook about half the week because Boyo is on 2nd shift. Stuff that ups the spendiness is razors, his fancy conditioner, or letting me loose in the deli 😺
The generic wet food from Woolies and Coles is pretty solid and nutritionally complete at less than $2 a can. (Used to be 80c.) The Woolies passes AAFCO regulations.
However YMMV - the fish flavour is full of bones which means a high phosphorus content which is hard on cats kidneys. Melbcat’s kidney disease values improved after I switched her off it to a low phosphorus food

I’m getting my stray cat food from Savemore, ie cheaper by miles.
I have no idea what that is but thanks for the tip. I’ll look into it.
Cheaper Buy Miles is the insane cheese crack house I get full multi kilo wheels for $10! There are 4, all west side. Fucking go there.

Yeah, they are huge on vegan stuff. Personally don’t need it but great to know where to grab if guests do.
Holy shit here we go!!!
Thanks for the heads up :)
Yikes! Just did $120 for two. Doesn’t include cat fud though, that’s prescription stuff.
I eat the same thing most days as well (because I only cook properly if there’s someone else around)
Oats Fruit Tuna Frozen veggies Some variety of meat
That’s pretty much it.
