Very useful info, Helen. I tried to straighten up the table but, although it looked great in the message box, when I previewed it, it looked the same as it does on the post. Awkward s.o.b.
Might be good if a few others could post a shopping list or two, to give everyone an idea of a weekly shop in different areas. Possibly Auckland and Wellie might be a tad more expensive than some other places. This sort of info will form the backbone of all our household financial situations when taken into account with rent/rates/mortgage and utility bills.
