I live in Melbourne, Australia and like to minimize the cost of my food.
Pies may seem cheap at $3.19 for 6 pies (900 grams) however cabbages which weigh more than 2 kilograms are sometimes $2. I often buy fish at the market for $4 per kilogram. Broccoli is often on special for less than $2 per kilogram, Carrots sometimes $1 per kilogram. Potatoes often $2 for 3 kilograms. I am enjoying a very big ripe avocado which was 90 cents.
While skinless chicken breast fillet is usually above $10 per kilogram, in Australia kangaroo mince is available for $7 per kilogram. Kangaroo is a game meat and has almost no fat.
Many vegetables are often available at lower prices in peak season, when their nutritional properties are best. I usually find fruit expensive and I buy it only when its price is low. I don't think fruit is as important as vegetables.
Sure it does take some time and effort to find lower prices, however I find it makes a huge difference to the cost.
I wonder how prices here compare with the prices in other countries.
