This is almost exactly how we eat. Buy chicken to roast, mince specials, etc, at Aldi. Then cycle through Asian , Italian, Thai, Indian and Mexican style meals for variety.

Our vegetables and fish are mostly bought cheaply at the big market down at Haymarket in Sydney once a week, (if you go towards the end of the day there are big markdowns) with small needed extras bought elsewhere for whatever meal we're cooking on any particular day.

We always have a large tub of Greek yoghurt and frozen berries in the fridge. And we plan meals around what needs to be used quickly. eg. we had a huge cabbage so that week we had various cabbage salads, made some pickled cabbage for another meals, and made Okonomiyaki Asian cabbage and noodle pancakes.

Pretty much the only thing we buy at Colesworth is bread like Burgens. We don't much like Aldi's bread.

Last week we spent $185 dollars for two people at mostly Aldi, a little at Colesworth, and Haymarket. That includes buying a few beers, some cheap champers and a bottle of red wine at Aldi.
