Savings Calculator

Roughly what growing or keeping your own is worth, compared to buying it.

We looked into a live pricing feed for this and couldn't find a free, reliable public source for Australian retail produce prices — the options are paid commercial data services. These are general 2026 market estimates, refreshed manually rather than live. Treat this as a rough planning figure, not an exact one.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this cover every item in the other guides on this site?

Yes - every vegetable, fruit tree, nut, herb, legume, grain, and animal product guide has its own line item here, using the same yield data as our Yearly Food Self-Sufficiency Planner, paired with Australian retail price ranges.

Where do the retail prices come from?

A mix of current Australian retail price tracking and well-established typical market ranges. Prices vary by season, region, and retailer, so treat these as a reasonable ballpark rather than an exact figure.

What does kg/unit grown actually mean?

It's the realistic yield from one plant, tree, vine, or animal in a typical year - the same figure used in our Yearly Food Self-Sufficiency Planner, so the two tools stay consistent with each other.
