Hosting for Under $100? How to Make It Work
Smart shopping starts with knowing where to begin
With the cost of living rising, feeding a family — or even doing a proper weekly shop — can add up quickly. But with a smarter approach, it’s still possible to put together a full spread for under $100.
Entertain for Under $100
Start with one protein that stretches
Bulk out meals with fresh produce
Mix cooking with ready-made options
Keep it simple
Leave room for one treat
Get this right, and everything else becomes easier.
How to Make $100 Go Further
If you’re shopping on a budget, it’s not about spending less — it’s about spending smarter.
Start here
(this is where most people overspend)
Start with a protein that can feed multiple people. At Saddik Halal Meat and Seafood Delight, you’ll find options that go further — whether it’s whole chickens, bulk cuts, or fresh seafood.
Bulk out your meals
(without blowing your budget)
Once your base is sorted, build volume with affordable ingredients. This is what makes meals feel full — not expensive.
At Fresh4Less and Woolworths, stock up on:
vegetables
fruit
salads
pantry staples
You can also add fresh bread or baked goods from Black Grain or Zaitouna Cafe for additional treats.
The Easiest way to save (without doing more work)
You don’t have to cook everything. In fact, a mix of cooking + convenience is often the most practical (and cost-effective) approach.
Mix in quick, affordable options from:
Keep it simple
(the little things add up)
If you’re feeding a group, don’t overcomplicate it.
Pick up affordable essentials from:
Simple setup = less stress + less spend.
Don’t cut everything out
At the end of the day, a budget doesn’t have to feel restrictive.
Indulge in that coffee from Gloria Jeans, or that drink from Sharetea, because small extras make it feel sustainable.
You can also factor in stops like BWS if you’re planning a meal or gathering.
We put it to the test
We followed this exact approach in-centre — and created a full family-style spread for:
👉 $92.16
The video shows how it came together — but the real takeaway is this:
With the right strategy, budget-friendly shopping can still feel generous.

ULTIMATE EASTER GUIDE
Easter is Sweet at Chester Square 🐣
Easter at Chester Square feels a little different. It’s not loud or overdone but quietly filled with the kind of moments you actually remember. The after-dinner dessert that turns into a longer catch-up, the quick coffee that somehow stretches into an hour, the small find you didn’t plan for but end up taking home anyway.
It’s a mix of routines returning and long weekend energy settling in — a slower pace, familiar faces, and a chance to enjoy things without rushing. Whether Easter is something you celebrate or simply a reason to take it easy, there’s always something here to pause for, pick up, or enjoy along the way.
A Little Something After
Sometimes it’s not a full meal — just something sweet to finish the day.
Chester Manoush Cafe x Honey Cakes
The Mango Honey Cake at Manoush Cafe is smooth, golden, and delicately sweet, with fresh mango flavour that feels just right after a long day. Each bite is soft, layered, and easy to enjoy — the kind of dessert that doesn’t feel too heavy, just perfectly timed.
Zaitouna Cafe
The churros at Zaitouna Cafe are crisp on the outside, soft on the inside, and coated in just the right amount of cinnamon sugar. Sweet, warm, and made for sharing (or not), they’re the kind of treat you end up craving again before you’ve even finished.
Gloria Jeans
And for those in-between moments, a drink from Gloria Jean’s Coffees always fits — something warm, something iced, whatever the day calls for.
The Sweet Finds You Didn’t Plan For
It’s not always about Easter-specific shopping — sometimes it’s the little things you come across while browsing.
Modelle
A new outfit you didn’t plan on but end up loving from Modelle — easy, effortless, and just right for the long weekend.
VNH Dollars
Or those small extras that bring everything together. At VNH Dollars, you’ll find Easter supplies, decorations, and even balloons to surprise your loved ones — simple touches that make the moment feel a little more special.
Not Your Usual Hot Cross Bun
Hot cross buns, but not as you remember them.
This year, it’s all about the flavours — think chocolate, fruit-free, apple cinnamon, or something a little more indulgent than the classic. Whether you’re team traditional or trying something new, there’s a version for every kind of sweet tooth.
A quick stop at Woolworths makes it easy to pick up a few different packs to try (because one flavour is never enough). Perfect for breakfast, an afternoon snack, or toasted with a little too much butter.
Easter at Chester Square is what you make it — a quiet coffee, a sweet treat, or a simple catch-up with family and friends.
However you spend the long weekend, there’s always something sweet waiting for you at Chester Square Shopping Centre!
Slow Days, Sorted
Slow Days, Sorted at Chester Square
After the rhythm of Ramadan, this is the week to take things a little slower. No big plans, no pressure — just easy meals, quick catch-ups, and ticking off the little things in between. Because sometimes, the best way to reset is to keep it simple.
Keep It Easy, Keep It Local
Start with the basics — a good coffee or something fresh and light, and a slow catch-up. Spots like Gloria Jean’s Coffees and fruity teas from Sharetea are perfect for easing back into routine, whether it’s a quiet moment alone or a catch-up with friends.
Your drink, your mood. Fruity jelly just makes it better at Sharetea.
Some things don’t need changing. The classic café latte at Gloria Jean’s Coffees still hits every time.
The Quick Bite That Always Delivers
Some meals don’t need overthinking. Just something easy, satisfying, and exactly what you’re craving. Grabbing a sub… and of course, a cookie. No questions asked at Subway.
The “Oh Wait, I Need That” Run
That in-between moment after Ramadan where you realise there are still a few things you didn’t get around to — fresh fruit for the week, skincare you’ve been meaning to restock, and the little essentials that make every day feel a bit more put together.
The kind of reset you didn’t realise you needed. Fill your basket with fresh fruits and vegetables at Fresh4Less and start the week feeling sorted.
Chester Square Pharmacy restock, no overthinking needed. Just the essentials you actually use and ready.
Back to basics, but better. Find your go-to QV essentials and keep your skin feeling calm, clean, and cared for.
Fresh, dry, and ready for whatever the day brings. Pick up Dove Advanced Care Dry Spray for all-day confidence.
This week isn’t about doing more — it’s about doing less, but better. A coffee, an easy meal, a few simple errands. That’s all it takes to ease back into routine.
Find your pace again at Chester Square!

6 Woolworths black tea bags
3 yellow peaches, halved, destoned
1 bunch mint, leaves picked
1 1/2 tbs maple syrup
Directions
Step 1
Place tea bags in a large heatproof jug and pour over 1.5L boiling water. Stand for 15 minutes to allow flavours to infuse. Discard tea bags.

Meanwhile, roughly chop 2 peaches, then place in a separate large heatproof jug with half of the mint. Using a muddler or wooden spoon, roughly mash peach and mint until broken down. Strain peach mixture into tea and stir in syrup. Refrigerate for 2 hours or until chilled.
Step 3
Cut remaining peach into thick wedges. Divide peach wedges and remaining mint among 6 x 1 1/2-cup capacity glasses half-filled with ice cubes. Pour over peach tea. Serve.

Day vs Night Moisturisers: What’s the Difference?
Modern facial moisturisers tend to fall into two camps – day and night. So, what’s the difference? And do we really need both? Let’s take a closer look at moisturisers, and how day and night versions can help keep your skin fresh and looking healthy, around the clock.
What is moisturiser?
Moisturisers are like giving your skin a big drink of water. Moisturisers are topical lotions applied to skin to help hydrate, smooth and soften. Formulations can be cream or gel, and help prevent skin dryness by boosting water content and restoring the natural skin barrier.
Why is moisturising so important?
A moisturiser can help to maintain the skin’s natural hydration and, in turn, support its barrier function to better protect the skin from various environmental factors (sun exposure, extreme temperatures, pollution and wind), common irritants and allergens as well as slowing the rate of skin’s visible ageing. Therefore, the overall purpose of a moisturiser is to support the skin’s barrier function, strength and natural moisturisation by maintaining or increasing the skin’s hydration and reducing water loss.
How do moisturisers work?
Moisturisers help boost water content in your skin three ways: by attracting, retaining and sealing in moisture. Modern moisturising formulations usually perform all these functions in the one cream, using a combination of:
Humectants: Substances that attract water, like glycerin.
Emollients: Help soften and seal in moisture by filling in gaps between skin cells, like liquid paraffin/safflower seed oil.
Occludents: Waxy or oily substances that form a barrier on the surface of the skin and reduce water loss, like petrolatum.
From day to night cream: The key differences
To maintain the health of your skin 24/7, day and night moisturisers are the ultimate skincare duo. While they both hydrate, their key purpose differs: day creams help protect and hydrate, while night creams revitalise skin.
Do you really need both?
Day and night creams are not just the same formulation packaged differently. Daytime moisturisers are lightweight and may have protective features, like Sun Protection Factor (SPF). Thicker night creams seal in moisture, with rich moisturising ingredients to replenish moisture lost during the day. The necessity of both depends on your individual skincare needs.
Day Creams: Things to Look For
Environmental factors like air conditioning and pollutants can damage skin and speed up the ageing process. Look for a day cream with SPF, that is gently formulated to help reduce the chance of irritation, and has a lightweight texture that can be worn under makeup.
Sun protection
Day cream with a broad-spectrum sunscreen of SPF 30+, is a simple way to help shield your skin from UV radiation, which can cause wrinkles, dark spots, and even skin cancer. Try the QV Face Moisturising Day Cream SPF 30*.
*Always read the label and follow the directions for use.
Night Creams: Things to Look For
Night creams work harmoniously with your skin’s natural repair cycle. These richer creams can help to ensure your skin is being hydrated as you sleep, the perfect time for skin to absorb nourishing ingredients.
Gentle formulations
Gentle Formulations that are pH-balanced, low-irritant, free from fragrance, colour and lanolin. Non-comedogenic - so they wont block pores - and dermatologically tested.
Anti-ageing ingredients
Night creams containing ceramides or niacinamide (Vitamin B3), help to support the skin barrier function and improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles while you sleep.
Deep hydration
For a deeply nourishing overnight option, look for creamy textures that lock in moisture with ceramides to help support the skin barrier, and safflower seed oil to replenish. Try the QV Face Nurturing Night Cream.
How to choose the right moisturiser for your skin type – Morning and Night
Finding the perfect moisturiser starts with understanding your skin type and choosing formulas that work best at different times of the day.
Oily Skin: During the day, opt for a lightweight, oil-free gel moisturiser to hydrate without clogging pores. At night, a water-based or mattifying moisturiser helps balance oil production while keeping skin hydrated while you sleep, such as the QV Face Oil Free Moisturiser.
Dry Skin - Extremely Dry Skin: Look for a hydrating cream with ceramides during the day such as QV Ceramides Cream. At night, for extra hydration choose a more rich formula such as the QV Intensive Cream.
Combination Skin: A lightweight lotion in the morning helps prevent excess shine, such as QV Ceramides Lotion, while a slightly richer night cream can nourish drier areas like the QV Face Nurturing Night Cream.
Sensitive Skin: Choose a fragrance-free, soothing moisturiser like the QV Face Ultra Calming Moisturiser with ingredients such as Avemide 15™ and pro-vitamin B5 for both day and night to reduce the chance of irritation.
Eczema Prone Skin: The QV product range is suitable for eczema prone skin. In the morning, the QV Ceramides Cream provides long lasting hydration. At night, At night, a more intense formula like an ointment or balm can help replenish moisture like the QV Dermcare Sting-Free Ointment.
Tailoring moisturisers to your skin type and the time of day helps ensure balanced, healthy looking skin. By adding a day and night cream into your regime, you’ll be targeting relevant skin concerns around the clock.

Ingredients
4 free range egg whites
3/4 cup caster sugar
1 tsp cornflour
1 tsp white vinegar
1 tsp vanilla extract
250g strawberries
300ml thickened cream, whipped
57g canned passionfruit pulp (see Tip)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 170℃/150℃ fan-forced. Grease a 26cm x 32cm Swiss roll pan. Line with baking paper, allowing paper to overhang by 2cm on all sides.
Step 2
Using an electric mixer, beat egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add sugar, beating until sugar dissolves. Add cornflour, vinegar and vanilla, and beat until combined.

Instruction tip
Tip:
When spreading the meringue on the tray, spread it evenly so it cooks evenly otherwise it will undercook in the thicker areas and burn in the thinner areas.
