This morning was another early one. Thankfully I was able to score a lift from a lovely classmate, so not nearly as early as it could have been. Phew. I got to sleep in until 5:30. We went to Ipswich Hospital maternity ward and tested newborns as part of a research trial. We were really lucky to get two very settled sleepy babies who responded well to the testing.
On the way home we stopped at a fruit and veggie place that a noticed with signs saying 69c per kilo for various things. I managed to score a huge bag of oranges, sweet potatoes, carrots and onions for just over $3. I know that nutritionists say to eat a rainbow of colours in your fruit and veggie intake, however at this rate I can only afford to eat the orange part of the rainbow.
Other than the first few torturous $2 days I have basically managed to leave two or three days between shops by getting big packets of things like noodles, eggs and pasta. This means that for the most part I have $6 when I walk into a shop, which isn't nearly as impossible to deal with as just $2. Well today was an exciting day. I managed to buy some coffee. Yes, that's right... I will be enjoying caffeine with my breakfast tomorrow. Things are looking up!
