Quite a few of my readers have been searching for a Basic Grocery List on a Budget in South Africa over the past few months. I have been meaning to write a post about this but have been delaying somewhat because I seem to be writing far too many posts about food these days! […]
I don’t like to waste anything, especially not food. Sometimes, sure, it just happens. Food goes off or becomes mouldy, perhaps it was too hot or it was left in the fridge for too long. We’ve all been there and done that at some stage but that’s not to say that we shouldn’t make […]
Spicy Chicken Livers may not be everyone’s cup of tea but we love this dish! A small serving of spicy chicken livers is very filling and can be enjoyed with a variety of staples: bread, rice, pasta or even pap. It’s easy to prepare and in less than 30 minutes’ cooking time you too […]

If you know the standard prices of groceries you regularly buy, you can save yourself a nice chunk of money as you hunt for specials and do your grocery shopping each month. Knowing my prices certainly helps me! So I’ve decided to share my list of the lowest prices of grocery items on […]
Today I’m going to share with you how I meal plan monthly around specials in the shops. I have been doing this for so long now that I don’t think it would even occur to me to simply walk into a shop and buy whatever I want and whenever I want! Your grocery […]
