Supermarkets reduce prices on meats and packaged items in the afternoon. My local supermarket does it around 3.30pm, so I have found it to be a great time to shop and save a fortune. I can pick up items at up to 80% off, which means we are able to eat very cheap. Meat is the main item reduced, however, often milk or yoghurt is also reduced. But this for me is only a bargain if I use it up before it expires.
I buy as much meat as I can and freeze it for meals in the following weeks. As long as it is still fresh when I purchase it, I get my money's worth.

This is a good tip, waiting until your supermarket marks items down to purchase them. I save a lot of money this way too. I find meats, yogurt, fruit, vegetables and baked goods on a regular basis. Sometimes I even have a coupon to combine with marked down lunch meat or yogurt, for even greater savings! Do they have coupons in Australia? I see you are relatively new to blogging. Welcome! I'm sure you will find it very rewarding, as I have. There is a great community of bloggers out there, with great ideas and tips for saving money. You will find after a while you will make a little bit of money with your ads, too. It takes time. First you need to build up a following by reading other blogs and commenting. I always click on my fellow bloggers ads when I find something that genuinely interests me. I joined Twitter, too, and I find tweeting regularly helps me gain readers. Good luck!
