To want to do the food shop all in one place? (Light hearted)

So, it's time for the weekly shop again. And right on schedule, the OH has 'casually' mentioned that I should go to Aldi before I finish the shop elsewhere. (All very sensible, admittedly).

I'm happy to split the shop between 2 places if I have company, but he doesn't want to come (as usual) and has the legitimate argument that it comes under my remit where the running of the house is concerned. But the cooking is also my remit, so surely I should get to pick where the food comes from?

Splitting the shop between Aldi and either Tesco or Asda is undoubtedly cheaper. But I'm pregnant (about half way through) with my first and suffering from SPD so don't like to be on my feet too long. Also, we're lucky enough to have a comfortable joint income with which we don't need to choose between whether to get stuff for the baby vs shopping at Tesco.

So, what are people's thoughts? AIBU to continue shopping where I like up until we can no longer afford to do so? Or would you double your shopping time in order to save a bit of cash, at cost to the rest of the day due to the back pain that would flatten you?

I've knocked 50 quid of my weekly shopping bill by going to also instead of tesco. Every month I pop into tesco to stock up on ambrosia custard as that's nicer than Aldi's imoGrin

I would be more worried about my DH being an arsehole than whether to shop in 2 places.
