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!

Ah I forgot we buy a large free range chicken for the dogs each week as well as there independently bought dog food. It all adds up I guess

*their!

On average £150 per week that is for everything . Some weeks it can creep up by another £30 or £50 depending on what we need.

Shopping at Lidl, M and S and Waitrose with meat from the butcher and organic milk and dairy from the milkman.

Every 2 _3 months we stock up at Costco, which is an additional cost.

northernmonkeys100 · 08/10/2020 09:44

4x adults. Usually about £190. Don’t know where it goes. Not on steaks that’s for sure.

UnalliterativeGeorge · 08/10/2020 09:47

£60-80 when I meal plan and stick to the list. £70-100 when I can't be arsed and go shopping when I'm hungry!

H1978 · 08/10/2020 09:48

I’d would say we average £60-£70 per week, 3 adults and 2 children but my adult dd eats child portions. Includes lunches for 4 of us, as dh comes gone for lunch and dcs take a packed lunch. This doesn’t include meats as we use the local butcher.

We shop mainly Tesco or Asda. Would like to shop in Aldi or Lidl but don’t drive so have home deliveries every week. Recently dsis took me to Lidl and I couldn’t believe how much cheaper my shopping was.

Oddbutnotodd · 08/10/2020 09:55

Whatever . Can vary between £100-£150 for 3 adults. Maybe £20 of that is alcohol. Tend to stock up so each week’s shopping is not necessarily food eaten that week. Shop in various supermarkets.

CeibaTree · 08/10/2020 09:59

We spend about £120 every three or so weeks on an Ocado delivery, and spend about £30 per week on top-up shops, and £30 every other friday on a takeaway, so we spend around £300 a month on food and household things.

Begonias · 08/10/2020 18:17

Family of 5, 2 adults,2 teenagers, primary school child and a cat.
£50-70. Asda on a Wednesday delivery
£30-40 Aldi on a Sunday
£15-20 butchers Monday

We spend anywhere between £95- 130 per week. This includes all toiletries and cleaning products as well as the cats food/litter.

Inextremis · 08/10/2020 18:39

€120 a week at the moment - in Ireland, for DH and me, 2 dogs, 1 cat. That includes a bottle of spirits per week that I'm saving for Christmas and beyond, so that accounts for around €30 of the total. I like to keep a good amount of staples in stock too, and buy a few of them when they're on special offer - bags of rice, jars of (instant, I like it) coffee, tins of tomatoes, that sort of thing. The dogs and cat cost €20 a week to feed - so if you take off the €50 on booze and animals, I suppose we come in around the €70 for 2 people mark. Better than I thought!

Malachite234 · 08/10/2020 18:43

£100 Pounds for two of us.

inappropriateraspberry · 08/10/2020 18:51

Anywhere between £50 and £70 for 2 adults, and a 5 and 2 year old. In Lidl with the odd trip to Tesco for vegetarian stuff. Includes wine, odd bottle of gin, nappies, all general house stuff really. Depends if I have to buy washing powder, loo roll etc! I've found it's getting cheaper now that the 5 year old is back at school and having school dinners!

Sunshine1235 · 08/10/2020 18:58

About £100 a week for two adults and two preschoolers. We just do one big shop a week, no top ups but we do have a milkman

bakereld · 08/10/2020 18:58

Around £50 - £60 for two adults if we shop at Asda or Iceland. Will be more around £80 if we do a shop at Waitrose which we do once per month. DP often buys a hot meal at work, and I WFH. Probably have one take away or meal out per week aswell. We like food.Cake

MrsGrindah · 08/10/2020 19:01

£150 per week fit the two of us but that usually includes wine

BashfulClam · 08/10/2020 19:27

Me and DH spend about £70-£80. It used to be £45 when food was really cheap. We don’t skimp though so can cut back if we like.

Petitmum · 08/10/2020 19:39

Household of 2 adults and 2 teens. Mostly shop at Lidl and our shopping averages out at £75 a week, that covers booze, food, toiletries, cleaning and laundry stuff.

Jen8888 · 08/10/2020 19:40

£150-200

2 adults and one toddler

MyNameForToday1980 · 08/10/2020 19:45

£100-£130 p/w including all household goods. One shop from Waitrose or Ocado.

For me, DH and D age 4.

It was around £99-£110 before lockdown - now DH and I eat every meal at home, and rarely buy tops ups throughout the week.

We don't scrimp. Food is by far our biggest expenditure after mortgage.

ghostmous3 · 08/10/2020 20:17

60 to 70 per week. 2 adults 1 pre teen and 1 young teen (adult dd has gone to uni)
1 dog
Might be a littl more this week as I'm chucking in a bottle of wine..once in a blue moon

bearcable · 08/10/2020 20:39

£90 ish a week from Tesco. No top ups, no toiletries. 3 adults and one toddler. Used to be much less before lockdown, we used to shop in person and get yellow sticker bargains, and DH used to get his weekday lunches and breakfasts free at work. I'm also buying more pre-prepped food as buying online means there's more range to choose from. Wish we could shop at Lidl/Aldi but there's none near us and to be honest we like the convenience of online shopping now.
