Wow, we spend more like £100 - £120 a week, all cleaning and dog food too, for myself, sh and 3 yr old ds! We internet shop from waitrose, but I do go to lidls too, to get certain things, if I have time, but currently on bed rest at home as 33 weeks pregnant with placenta previa and a breech baby!

2 adults, a teen and a tween plus cat.

All food, toiletries, cleaning stuff £150 a week from Ocado.

I know I could do it cheaper by fighting my way round Aldi but I HATE going to the supermarket.

Five of us, two adults and three young children. Our weekly shop is £160 plus a top up midweek of fresh fruit.
It's ridiculous, I need to get it under a £100 a week but just don't know how

I do Waitrose as its nearest and easiest with a baby! We spend about £100 a week for three of us but that does include nappies, toiletries and normally a bottle or two of wine. I'm staggered that people can do it so cheaply! I probably could get it down but the thought of that aldi checkout/time challenge with a baby puts me right off Grin

About 250 quid a month for 4 of us, but I actually think it's less than that Atm. I don't do all my shopping in one place though.

£50 per week, 2 adults, 1 cat, 4yr old but he has all meals at nursery for 3 days, 2 dsd's for 2 meals per week.

This will increase when ds starts school.

4 of us dp and I probably around £60 per week total inc nappies and toiletries at aldi and a few bits from Tesco. We buy chicken fillets in bulk from local butcher 10 for £10, probably every 3 weeks or so and top up for milk and bread through the week.

It's possibly a little less than that my aldi shop is usually between £40-£50 sometimes under £40 what I spend in teaco can vary.

About £70 per week for DH, myself, DCs 11 & 2. Includes nappies, dog, cat ×2 and guinea pig food / sawdust.

I do main shop in Aldi, except get majority of meat from butchers fortnightly and freeze in portions. I also go to Asda and Morrisons as I prefer certain things from there. Also use pet shop next to Aldi as needed.

I don't often physically shop I send DH with a list and no kids (SAHD). Sounds complicated but he can do an Aldi run in less than half an hour. We used to spend ages (and more money) browsing bigger supermarkets.
