Woolworths groceries

This was our weekly grocery shop that totalled under $300. I was able to make a week’s worth of dinners and snacks for our family (2 adults and 2 kids).

Having a heap of these is an easy way to make dinners when you don’t have a lot of time. I tell my kids they are big chicken nuggets and they love them, so that’s a win. Pair them with mash, salads, veggies, etc.
