How much is your weekly shop?

[Hernamesnoelle]

We are a family of 3, 2 adults 1 child (age 4).

In recent months we have had 1 'main' shopping delivery that's normally between £150-£175 and then easily spend another £20 topping up during the week.

It seems eye watering to me, as I'm sure it was about half this last year!

Interested to see if we are around average?

Nectarines are 4 for a £1 in Morrisons in season.

I’ve been doing the sums and I spend a lot more than I thought. £4 per kilo for French carrots, £7.50 per kilo for Italian tomatoes, and don’t get me started on Cornish potatoes. And all this is before meat, fish and other stuff.

£70 for two adults including alcohol. This includes home made lunches.

The latest one is over £200 for 2 adults and 2 DC, that’s not including any alcohol, cleaning products or toiletries.

If you really want to feel angry, look at the profits of tesco over the last 5 years.

Ditto the energy companies.

£250 a week...two adults, two teens.

Approx £110 per weekly shop, family of four.

Any fruit I have ever bought in a supermarket goes rotten without about a day! Sometimes their fruit is even rotten on the shelves😷Farm shop is more expensive, but the fruit is better quality and lasts longer.

And let's not even get started on the supermarket mince that is often grey (Sainsburys I'm looking at you).

Approximately £200 per week for 2 adults and teenage son.
Shopping habits haven’t changed much but costs have gone up significantly.

Heaven knows how the rest of us manage on supermarket fruit and mince then.

We rarely have a typical week tbh, but the average per week is probably toward the lower range for 3 adults - £90 to £100 on food and groceries, including cleaning and toiletries. We have very limited choice in supermarkets where we live, so end up paying more through necessity, though we do eat reasonably well, plenty of fruit and veg, decent quality meat, sometimes fish, etc. I'd struggle to feed us on £60, but also wouldn't really know what to spend £200 or even £300 on either.

We don't do a weekly shop but spend on average £25 per day to feed three adults, but this doesn't include all lunches.

We spend £75-£90 a week (two adults, two dogs)

£200 a week. 2 adults, 8 year old and a cat. Daylight robbery.

On average £200 a week for 2 adults and 2 kids (8 and 10) Includes all food at home, snacks and my husband's work lunches plus cleaning products and alcohol/chocolate.

I top up the kids school dinner fund separately (£100 a month for both) but it will usually last more than a month because they have packed lunch some days which is included in the general shopping budget.

Does not include the cat, she costs roughly £50 month to feed.

Food has definitely gone up, we could cut down if we wanted to, no alcohol, no steak, swap my sourdough to cheap supermarket bread, no meat but that seems like a very miserable way to live.

I try cook from scratch for myself as much as possible but everyone else is really fussy. I use the roast chicken leftovers in other meals, save the bones for bone broth for meals/the cat. Next week I'll get a gammon to make ham for my work lunches and I'll make my own pesto but that costs a fortune by the time I've bought olive oil, pine nuts and parmesan!

£60 for me
including cleaning products, batteries, bin bags, washing up liquid stuff like that. For all meals as I take lunch to work

doesn't include cat food, toilet rolls or washing powder as I buy in bulk

Family of 4 (me, DH, 8yo and 4yo) i would say its £120-150 per week all in (that's food, cosmetics, cleaning products etc and including any top up shops above our main 'big weekly shop' which itself totals around £100) We mostly shop at Tesco, occasionally ASDA or the odd bits from Morrisons.

Usually about £120-130 a week. Two adults, two teens. One very fussy and underweight do does need to be tempted.

Three meat meals a week, four cheaper veggie meals. No booze anymore.

2 adults 1 toddler. £100 a week main shop then maybe another £20 top ups in the week.

I spend a lot. But My DD is managing on £25/week at uni so it must be I like expensive food! I do have three pets which account for about £25 or more a week. I eat things like smoked salmon most days, avocadoes and I wfh so three meals. Breakfast costs about £3, lunch the same, dinner maybe £5? That £77/week right there. Add the animals in, a few cleaning/personal items and that’s over £100 easy. I shop at Tesco and do buy named brands and it’s Finest range. Of course if I needed to I could live out of my cupboards for at least a week. Monotonous but I wouldn’t starve. But food is where I spend my money it seems.

1 adult, 1 teen, 2 cats. £85 - £90 for all food, toiletries etc. I could probably reduce it if I did a big main shop instead of lots of small ones, and cut back on biscuits.

We're at least £200 a week - probably one bottle of wine and a nice joint of meat. 3 older teenagers though - 1 working from home and 2 parents working from home too. Food has gone up so much since Covid....

£50 - £60 per week just 2 of us

It used to be £40. but inflation is terrible.

About 85-100, for 2 adults and 2 cats. That covers all cat food and litter, all food apart from a weekly takeaway, and a bottle of wine.

By being happy with that. I’m not happy with it, so I don’t have to buy it.

Not entirely sure what your problem is.
