I don't think that's too bad at all for all meals for 3 people for a week. 👍

I’d say no more than £65. I’m forever at Aldi so pls come back to the thread and actually let us know how much it cost😂 I really want to know!

I was £2.20 off. Not bad at all. I love Aldi😆

£88

based on the average prices used for this estimation, the overall cost for your Aldi shopping trip would be approximately $96.50.

Xmasbaby11 · 27/01/2024 21:23

I was going to guess about £50 or £60. Not much expensive and not a huge amount for the week. It’s good not to overbuy though. We buy far too much .. dh does the shopping and the cupboards and freezer are bulging!

Warmfire · 27/01/2024 21:25

Mine cost just over 150 quid yesterday, family of 6 including two teenagers

I agree. I wouldn’t have got anything in my freezer if I’d have purchased much more, I batch cooked curry, bolognaise and chicken casserole last week so have those portioned up for this week too.

I think that's brilliant value.
My guess was going to be £95

Whiskers4 · 27/01/2024 21:36

Is have guessed £75.50.

What I want to know, is do your cats just eat four cans a week between them, or did they also eat part of an existing tash/some of your meat/fish as well😂?

There is a box of 12 sachets and 2 cans rolling over from last week. They aren’t the biggest eaters but do eat dry food too.

£83.00 however that's for two adults and one toddler. Including nappies and wipes etc. we are also on a healthy eating plan too which I find food is more expensive! But I don't shop every week I do a big shop every month and then top up shops in between.
