Best supermarket for family food shop for quality and price

We usually shop at Asda as they offered BLC discount which was really helpful. I’ve not always found the quality great but generally the prices seem competitive. With the discount now removed I’m looking to try somewhere else with better quality, we usually spend around £120 a week for a family of 3. I don’t really want to spend more than this. Do I stick with Asda or is Sainsburys and Tesco worth a switch?

We do a mix of aldi and asda yellow labels. Our shopping is normally around £80-£100 a week, family of 4. That includes nappies and such.

I’ve got the Tesco club card plus for £7.99 a month. I save at least £30 with this on top of usual club card discounts. I definitely spend less in Tesco than Asda.

We spend roughly £90ish a week in Lidl, depending if we need a big shop or not. Once a month we spend up to £120. That includes everything apart from washing powder at the moment, as I have gone back to Fairy for a bit because of the baby. If you have Lidl Plus, you get 10% off your whole shop once you've spent a total of £250 in a month, so the 10% off shops tends me be my bigger, more expensive shop where buy meat for the month and freeze it, and stock up on tins/rice/pasta, so subsequent shops are cheaper because they're largely just the fresh stuff that doesn't last, so veg/fruit/salad, fish, cheese, bread and milk, etc. Family of 4- admittedly the baby is only 4 months old though so not eating us out of house and home (yet).

We spend about £90 in Aldi a week. Four adults. We all eat evening meals together, breakfast and lunches at weekends. There's food in for people to make lunches but adult kids tend to do their own thing. Any snacks e.g chocolate, crisps etc the adult kids tend to buy themselves as we don't really eat those.

We spend about £50-60 in Aldi and buy some meat from the local butcher. There's always a top up during the week, especially fresh fruit.
