If you aren’t particularly frugal, what is your weekly grocery spend up to now?

We enjoy good, home cooked meals and are fortunate not to need to be especially careful, but I think a hardly lobster and steak every night. We mostly cook from scratch, never order takeaway, and rarely eat out. We’d cut back on other areas before food.

Our weekly spend is now £180-220 for 2 adults and 2 teens. That’s for a weekly Waitrose delivery (including kibble, sardines, eggs and sweet potatoes for the dogs), meat from the farm shop and a Co-Op top-up shop. Yikes!

Anyone else’s food shop coming in around this?

I am at £100 a week for me and DP and thier child who is here 50% of the time. That doesn't count the odd trips to Tesco express for little bits we have forgotten not more wine

Probably I would count as frugal compared to you but I buy a fair amount of unnecessary luxury bits and bobs. Spend around £100a week in Aldi plus maybe another £30 -£40 extra bits in other supermarkets through the week. Two adults, three teens no pets.

Mine's £50 a week to feed one adult, one teen. No alcohol but otherwise I don't scrimp.

£200 a week for two adults, two kids in nappies and a cat. That's for supermarket shopping only and doesn't include takeaways, which we probably get once or twice a month.

I did a basic shop for an ill neighbour today.

Margarine, peanut butter, teabags, coffee, bread, milk, cheese, two packs of biscuits, a Mr Kipling cake, some fruit and veg. Two small bags worth and it came to almost £50!

About £85 a week including Sainsbug’s delivery charge, for me and my cat.
