You could probably make a dessert cheaper than buying 4 separate boxes from the supermarket. Those sorts of things are never cheap and the shop bought ones are not good.

For one big cheese cake you’d need 2 family size packets of Philadelphia cream cheese , 1 packet of digestive , eggs , sour cream or Greek yogurt , vanilla . that alone , without the cost of other ingredients like berries and white chocolate brings the cost closer to £12 . Even cheaper to get a big cheesecake from places like M&S or Waitrose.

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.

Edited

I have a delivery shop coming to . That's more for the drinks though. Because they are to heavy for me to carry. I'm hoping to do more in aldi tomorrow so I can remove some stuff I have in my shopping cart.

Free!
you used your club card points!!

I

Tesco and other supermarkets aren't giving anything away free. Think about the bigger picture of this. They slightly inflate the prices so the club card prices are factored in already. Businesses are for making money not giving it away, you've already paid on other things with higher prices but it's not really noticed.
The brain is hotwired to see certain coloured labels and it registers as a good deal so it automatically seeks them out ignoring other things around it. Totally natural to want to get a bargain even if it isn't.
A bit like Black Friday sales when stuff is cheaper because companies are clearing out old stock to make way for the new and latest.

I knew the food snobs would be out on this thread as soon as I saw it and I was right - Merry Christmas you get a fridge - oops wrong thread. But the food snobs head over to the Christmas Fridge thread where you can lord your superiority over everyone with your organic sprouts and free range partridge when everyone shows off their packed fridges full of processed hams and cheese.

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!

I'm sorry i have failed 😔 😭

TiramisuThief · 18/12/2024 11:33

I'd have guessed £90 so I'm pretty pleased with that!

Yeh we went to Tesco yesterday to buy the majority of the Xmas stuff and we spent £80.

Madness how much a few bags of shopping costs now.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 18/12/2024 11:34

£87. Are we playing The Price is right. Does the winner get the hamper.🤣

SavingTheBestTillLast · 18/12/2024 11:35

I was thinking £45/£50
Those chocolates with Lidl 10% discount could be £3:50 (ish ) each
Ive seen them in some shops for £6!
Without discount at Aldi
Cheesecakes £1:85
After eights £2:49 ( they probably due much cheaper own brand )
Turkey £11:65

Id stop shopping in Tesco

Viviennemary · 18/12/2024 11:37

Not sure £45

£60?

MummyMummy278 · 18/12/2024 11:43

Il probably get it handed to me for my opinion..

I could be wrong here, but Im assuming the £60 voucher was a gov funded free school meal voucher??Schools send these out to lowest income families (which is extrememly generous) and im all for it.
Without sounding like a stuck up cow, i personally think it would have been great to use to put towards the family meal as opposed to so much UPFs. Junk food is so expensive!!!!

Im not judging in anyway and hope you all enjoy your xmas. I would have put it towards feeding everyone an actual meal. Afterall its meant to be towards feeding your kids and help with food poverty.

Not trying to offend you OP. Sorry if my comment has done so.

I remember when shopping at 1 supermarket all year meant Christmas and Easter cost nothing...

I'm buying my veggies today or tomorrow, need to check where 2kg of spuds are cheapest though may leave Turkey as I think prices are due to drop...

3peassuit · 18/12/2024 11:47

I shop at Tesco fairly regularly and thought 65 maximum. I’m quite shocked at the price.

ureterr1blemuriel · 18/12/2024 11:47

Just seen it was £72 so I was nearly there. I do my main shop at Aldi now, not just for price but love how quickly I can do it. An hour round trip including 30 mins driving and parking time. I went to Tesco the other day and nearly had a heart attack at the prices! Their booze offer was fab though when you thought more than 6 so u went back another time and did a big drinks shop.
