What is your most expensive weekly food purchase

[bluebananababe]

And where do you buy it?

Just me being curious nosey

Today I Made an unexpected trip to Waitrose to look about and bought some frozen meatballs for £3.60. Expensive for me.

Tassimo pods - usually £7-8 a week
Meat - salmon, chicken, mince, steak easily £20+
I buy expensive kitchen roll and toilet roll as the cheaper ones are a false economy
Berries
Wine
Oat milk
Cat food!

Decent balsamic vinegar absolutely love it

Locally produced organic grass fed steak, fresh fish and cheese from the deli down the road. I also buy Waitrose aloe vera loo rolls and I'm ashamed to say I don't actually know how expensive they are, but they're bloody lovely and I don't care.

We spend over £30 a week on fruit
🙄

Coffee pods. 3 boxes per week. Asda do L'or for £2

I also used to spend more then £28 a week on goat milk for son

Now all of our groceries are expensive
The thing is we don't go out much for a meal and get a takeaway less then once a month
We spend nearly £300 a week on groceries/ cleaning products

Lurpack

Be Free gluten free wraps at 3.50 is probably the most consistently expensive thing I buy each week. The fact that they're probably 5 times as expensive as standard wraps is what hurts the most.

Gin. Definitely.

Prosecco and Diet Coke. ☹️☹️☹️

Almond flour is also expensive.

I bought chestnut flour once (couple of Coeliacs in the family so constantly trying new recipes). The baking I did with it was incredible, it's a strongly flavoured but lovely light flour. But oh my the price!

But really it's meat that is the most expensive thing, but that's how it should be isn't it.

@NaturalBornWoman I visited Waitrose a few months ago and made a short list of things I'd like to buy from there, including those loo rolls😳

@nelsonmuntzslingshot it's free of chemicals, additives and sugar. Trying to fill the DCs with food thats mostly unprocessed.

Gin

Lurpak! I think it's dearer than gold atm.

Can't actually believe I'm going to be 'that' poster but here goes... so many people paying £££ for salmon, please say it isn't Scottish salmon which is absolutely filthy, lice and antibiotic-infested shite. Save your money for something else - and I speak as a committed meat-eater...

Coffee - I only buy it on offer at £3 a tin
British strawberries - 2 for £3 in Morrisons but I eat them by the punnet all summer

Steak. Usually have it once a week. Worth the money as we don't eat out or treat ourselves really.

Loo roll
Washing liq clothes
Occasionally a joint of beef

My three DDs all have coeliac disease so I spend a fortune on their bread, pasta etc. I do a big shop in Aldi each week for meat, veg etc wghicg is really good value but they don’t stock gf staples so I have to go to Sainsbury’s for these. Really frustrates me that gf basics are so expensive.

Fresh fruit!

We regularly buy a $6 (US) cheese from the Farmer's market as part of our weekly shop. Mainly because most American cheese is inedible, but there's a local dairy that actually does a very good (but expensive) aged cheddar.

The most expensive thing on my shop food wise is usually the larger marmite jar.

Fresh ground coffee. Spend about £6-8 a week, whatever's on offer. And the fresh cream to go in it. We've got a Tassimo but the ground coffee for the cafetiere is more economical and much nicer.
