How much is your weekly Shop?

[Whalewhale]

After DH and I have both found ourselves redundant from Covid, we have discovered Lidl! We spend £50-£60 per week for Us,
plus 2 DC (5yr and 5 Months) Our total is inclusive of Wipes / Nappies and the odd bottle of Wine.
Interested to know how that compares to others of a similar size Family!

About £50 pp

£100-110 a week for two adults and a baby. Includes all cleaning stuff toiletries alcohol etc too though, and nappies. I also keep a running stock in our chest freezer of around a months worth of food - old habit of having an irregular cash flow!'

About 110 for 2 adults, 2 children. Includes wine 🍷

We spend on average between £50-60. Shop mainly at Asda but get some bits from Aldi. We are a family of 3 (DD 1 year old)

Oh god. Too much.
£130-£150/week. Ocado.
2 adults 1 child.

About £100. That's all meals, including packed lunches for 2 adults, a 9yo who eats more than me and a 7yo who eats nearly as much. (And they aren't overeating... Calories for an active growing child can be more than an adult woman with weight to shift).

We like nice food. DH likes meat. We have wine. There's other stuff we'd cut down before food.

What always confuses me a bit on these threads is ok maybe you can feed a family of 4 for £50 but what about when you need things like washing powder, dishwasher tablets, loo roll etc? Those things are pricy. I’m on my own but I still easily spend £50 a week because of household extras like that, as I currently have both adult DC here (they buy their own food but I buy the “house” stuff). I also have 2 cats so they need food. My actual food probably is only £25 a week but the extras and the odd bottle of wine or two, then doubles that.

@Meruem I find it's an average thing. So I would only buy washing powder every 8 weeks or so, maybe less. I dont have a dishwasher so cant comment on tablets but other expensive items like loo roll would be every 8 weeks too. My dogs food costs £24 and lasts about 3 months too. Similarly, I buy meat and freeze it, so meat weeks are more expensive than non meat weeks. So if you average those household items out, I still spend on average 55-65 a week for me, DH, and our 1 year old. It's just estimates.

£80-100. That’s 6 of us, including 2 teens and 2 junior school aged.

About £160. 3 adults, 2 pre-teens.

About £100, 2 adults, weekly online Tesco shop, top up at M&S or Waitrose.

£40-£50 a week family of 3 plus a cat

I need some tips. I spend £100 a week on three of us not including alcohol or nappies Etc.

£60 2 adults & a toddler

Way more then people mention on here. No idea how people feed 4 adults on £40

2 adults, 15 & 17 year old here. Cook from scratch & make packed lunches. No alcohol.

£300-400 a week here! I shop daily for whatever we want for dinner that night. But that also includes toiletries, pet food and cleaning products.

Two adults, 3 late teen boys who are bodybuilders and eat lots of meat. We also drink lots of nice wine/gin/beers and eat out several times a week.

Kids back at school and college now though so costs are goig down.

About £85 for 3 adults and one teen and 2 small dogs plus another 25/30 a week on a take away.

About £120 is my aim for a Tesco delivery most weeks. Generally top up at local coop for fruit / veg / lunch box stuff / 🥂 if anything runs out. Usually can cobble together meals for the last week if money is tight one month or I’ve over spent.
That’s 5 of us, DCs are 5, 11, 13 years.

£50 a week, That includes wipes, nappies, toiletries but I meal plan so one week £50 doesn't all go on food as we will have nappies to buy etc.

Also I shop at Aldi and home bargains for toletries, we don't drink, I am pregnant so have been craving all sorts recently!

I would say between £75-£120 per week, depending on what I am buying - the bigger shops are usually because of pet food.
It includes all meals and packed lunches for everyone.

2 adults, 1 teen, 1 preteen, and 2 pets.

I shop in my nearest small supermarket, and try to only buy local, free range meat, and fruit and veg in season.

Around £90 - £100 for the 'big shop' in Aldi then an additional £30 or so for top-ups in Sainsburys/Asda as we go through the week.

2 adults, 2 primary DC a cat & a dog (who will only eat full price branded food!)

£120-140 ish a week, for two adults and 2 dc (5 and 6). That includes some extra bits, flowers and wine etc. It cover three meals a day, most days a week (we have a takeaway or eat out perhaps once a week)for all of us though, so I don't think it's too bad.

£30 ish a week for 1 adult and 1 child... including lots of corn on the cob because DS is obsessed with it and will have it with every meal😁

Family of 3 (2 adults, 1 toddler)
Anything between £40 and £200 a week. It depends on where I shop, what mood I'm in when I shop and how organised I am. If I go shopping when I haven't meal planned, and I'm in a really good mood I kind of go crazy and just throw everything in the trolley.

It varies.
Last week was a big one because we'd run out of loads of stuff like washing powder, dishwasher tablets etc plus I wanted to stock the freezers up a bit so it was around 170 I think.
This week it's going to be around 80.

I'm a real sadsack so I just went and added up my last 4 Tesco deliveries then divided by 4 and it's an average of 105.75 a week.

Cat food is the only thing not included because the pampered princess will not eat supermarket cat food 😁.

I think around £100 a week for 4 adults, plus all household and personal care stuff is very reasonable.
