The sub total was 95.40... I think that's awful
Club card put it down to 71.95

In my case I have 60.00 in a gift card so personally I only paid 11.00 so I was lucky with that.

I don't know why I'm shocked. Probably because I would shop differently for a standard shop.

I'm doing an aldi shop tomorrow. Will be interesting to see what I can get there.

That's great.;)

Ultra processed food. You could have spent a lot less if you’d not bought all the ready made stuff. Peeling a few spuds and wrapping a bit of bacon round a sausage is hardly arduous, and you’d have less cause to complain about the cost then.

Also, I can’t think of anything worse than a shop bought cheesecake. To make a cheesecake you bash some biscuits, mix them with melted butter, pat them down in a tin or even on a plate, mix some cream cheese with icing sugar and your preferred flavouring, blob in on the top. Done. I like ginger biscuit base and lime flavoured cheese, with either dark chocolate or ginger on top. Best served freshly made, it goes a bit soggy if you leave it too long, but leaving it too long rarely happens round here! Shop bought cheesecake is always soggy, and packed with preservatives. 🤮

I also eat shit at Christmas, but I think my idea of shit is different to the OP’s.

Are the tubs of sweets for gifts?

No. They are for family Christmas

Edited: forgot about the turkey.

Ah! £0.40 out. That's a personal achievement 🤣

......and my husband says I have no idea of the cost of things - that'll show him 😉

ClicketyClickPlusOne · 18/12/2024 11:12

Ha! I was £2 off, and I would have been bang on had I paid attention and counted the 3 bags of coins rather than 1

Not sure why you would expect cheaper for each item. Those tubs are about the same in all shops, I haven’t seen After 8 cheaper than the club card price. A turkey crown: expensive (but not unfair), and 40 sausages with bacon?

I shop at Tesco a lot and had £48 in my head. The Molly range is pretty cheap but I am constantly shocked how much so little shopping costs nowadays.

I have a shop coming on Friday currently standing at £90 and it seems to have more stuff in it, including a large Christmas gammon joint. (Though no tubs of chocolate).

I don’t think I looked at your photo closely enough to get a better estimate.

Hayley1256 · 18/12/2024 11:16

Doitrightnow · 18/12/2024 11:18

£70

housethatbuiltme · 18/12/2024 11:19

£75-ish

The 5 tubs of chocolates will add up a lot on their own I guess approx. £30

As a veggie no idea how much meat costs but I'll guess £15-£20

Up to £15 for 3 cheesecakes

£6-ish for 2 boxes of after eights and 3 nets of coins

£3-ish for aunt bessies

Hoolahoophop · 18/12/2024 11:19

You have 4 cheesecakes and 5 boxes of chocolates to feed 9 people.......better fed at your house than mine, the only thing we have that sort of share of is sprouts 😂

RisingSunn · 18/12/2024 11:21

£75 ish

Doitrightnow · 18/12/2024 11:21

Ha, £1.95 out!

I think it's pretty much standard. It probably feels a lot because you can't actually make a meal with that and it's all junk food.

But then that does not work for Me personally. Because I have kids with special needs. And have a hell of alot of stress in life. So anything I can do to make things less stressful I'm doing it . I don't care if its prossed shit . Over Xmas or will be as lazy as I possibly can 😃

Do Tesco charge different prices in different areas? Discounters aside I don't find Tesco to be more expensive than other supermarkets

What do you mean by overpriced though?

Obviously more expensive compared to other supermarkets, hence over priced.
I shop at Lidls for main, Asda for vegan and Iceland for frozen. MY bill is still a lot cheaper than Tesco when done like for like, I know because I regularly compare being on a COL budget.

About 70 quid

You've only yourself to blame OP. If you'd have spent last year turning your garden into an allotment and taking cookery classes, you'd have free organic veg and a home made dessert for 20 that cost nothing but the 'bits you keep in the larder' by now. Then you could have spent your entire budget on one enormous piece of Very High Quality meat. You should also have raised your DC to prefer nuts and tangerines over tins of chocolates. Make 2025 the year you do better!
