Leah's notes
Total: approx. $9.39 for two serves.
Note: The costings were done off the Woolworths website with a rough estimation done on usage. The brands chosen were mostly home brand or Woolworths branded (no problem with that!), just to note for when shopping. These costs can change depending on what you are comfortable with in your own household budget, so use this as a base to build off.
