    He's only had that sig for what, 3 years now?


    Anyway, I go shopping with my dad every two weeks and we stock up on really unhealthy frozen foods (mainly him) and I stock up on more healthy stuff.

    I subsist on vending machine food. I do buy things at grocery stores sometimes, but just small/individual things. My parents don't let me do my own grocery shopping. -__- Oh well.

    My parents do 'the big shop' every week, but sometimes go half way through a week for things they need or have run out off. It's usually £60-£70 a week, for them, I don't buy a thing ;D

    I still live at home so my parents usually do the shopping, but I sometimes tag along if there's something specific I want, or if I don't have anything better to do. I usually put lots of fruits and vegetables in the cart when tagging along, since they in my opinion don't buy enough of those by themselves.

    Half of us are Asian and the other half loves to cook. I only have an interest in cooking.

    This weeks' grocery bill was $70, and consisted of the following:

    A)
    Vegetable Stock
    Sultanas
    Coriander
    Chilli
    Almonds
    Walnuts
    Margarine
    Maple Syrup
    Oat Bran
    Brewer's Yeast

    B)
    Apples
    Carrots
    Celery
    Potatoes
    Onions
    Bananas
    Broccoli
    Mushrooms
    Lemons
    A Capsicum
    Hummus
    Soy Milk



    So far I've turned the groceries into bran muffins, carrot cupcakes, and shepherd's pie. All the stuff on list A will last between a fortnight and a month. All the stuff on list B will be gone by the end of the week. My pantry is getting to the stage where it has things in it again (i.e. Before The Secret Invasion).

    I never had to do my own groceries so far. I suspect I wouldn't really need to buy much though. I'm actually not so heavy of an eater. I like cereal and sammiches and salad. Mmmm chicken! I'm a picky eater so I like eating just about the same things, with only a little bit of variety, like eating pizza one night or getting a chicken salad from Wendy's one night.

    Vimto. Once a week.

    Oh, and I go with my dad once a week for other stuff. But it's always the unimportant stuff like food and toilet paper and that.
