How much did your last weekly shop cost?

[JoeyBartonHanson]

Mine cost £95 which I don't think was that bad for about 100 items

£140 online - 2 adults and 2 primary school children. Includes fish, chicken, fresh and frozen berries, nuts, veg, salad toiletries, loads and loads of loo roll ( 10+ packs of 9! I tend to by them en masse so not to be caught short).
I take lunch to work, kids have school meals, DH take lunch some days but will also buy more.

£56 in Aldi and £11 in Iceland. That was for a family of 5. We did still have some bits in though so that’s not a full 7 days worth of meals.

£80 for 2 adults and 3 kids

Easily over £100 a week for me, dogs and cats. I do spoil them! Sorry, not sorry

@KittyMcKitty it really depends where you shop , we always shop in Aldi- coconut milk is 69p

I too am always amazed by these threads. £40 per week for 4 people? how?

We live in a country where stuff is more expensive, but even so, for 2 Adults, who rarely drink, don't eat meat every day and generally cook everything ourselves, I think €120 per week is probably our average. Dinner tonight is a roast vegetable pasta using leftover bits in the fridge.

I picked up a few basics earlier, literally, just milk, bread, cheese type stuff nothing extravagant and it was €32.

What kind of food are people cooking thats £10 per head for the week? (family of 4 spending £40 as above).

£150 for 6 of us including bath bits & cleaning, laundery stuff.

Gingerkittykat Co washing is washing hair in Conditioner only. Useful for curly or afro hair as shampoo strips the moisture from hair.

I also buy Zoflora and two bottles last a year for cleaning. Bleach, dettol and disinfectant all get watered down in spray bottles for floors and surfaces.

£50 for five but I'm strict

What do you eat @abbazed

For the under £30 weekly shop I tend to cook two meals of stirfried veg with a sauce with either rice or breaded fish. Then a meal of pasta and sauce with lots of veg. Midweek I'll do a meal with meat which is usually something like chilli or curry served with rice or on jacket potatoes then usually a meal using up all the leftover veg in the slow cooker towards the end of the week that I usually cook and put into a pie or something and serve with veg and gravy. I also.buy a couple of frozen pizzas or fish fingers and have these with beans and potato wedges as a quick meal on my late work night.

I don't buy meat, cheese, bread or any drinks other than milk at the supermarket and tend to get these items via the waste food cooperative once a week which costs me £2.50 to attend.

£56 for 4 (2 adults, 1 teen, 1 preteen) but I'll be doing a top up shop for perishables tomorrow and that's without any cleaning products or toiletries as I stocked up the week before.

£70 from Ocado for 2 adults and 1 ds

I keep my shopping costs down by doing the following.

I never/rarely buy...

Fresh fish
Juice
Alcohol
Branded products
Pre prepared fruit/veg

I look for what's on special...so last week in Lidl, I got a tray of chicken drumsticks (about 8 of them I think) for £1.35. I picked up a bag of potatoes on offer for 29p!

I know the price of everything in every shop!

£68 for 2 adults & 2 teens. No alcohol, meat or fish though so that's probably why it's so reasonable. The only 'processed' food is one pizza to add to the one i already have in the freezer.

Shopping tends to alternate between big and small online shopping. Next week i'll have to buy laundry stuff so a 5L Ecover will set me back £28 but will last around 3 months

£130 , but that was for 6 of us including 4 adults and two locusts , sorry teenagers. I too know the price of everything .

£105, 3 adults

£35 for two adults and a cat, we had some meats left in the freezer so a slightly cheaper week we aim to spend no more than £180 a month.

We (DH and I, not the kids) have cut back hugely on our carbohydrate intake, which had been escalating. So, we no longer have pasta, bread, potatoes etc to bulk up a meal and so the expense goes on extra meat, fish, veg & berries.

On the plus side, we are spending very little on booze and I have stopped buying lattes at work...

We spend around £150 a week in Ocado for 2 adults, 3 year old DD, fussy dog and even fussier cat.
DD is dairy free and I find the most tasty alternatives are the most expensive!

Over £100, 2 adults, 1DC and a dog.

I would think the people with very low shops aren't eating much protein and bulking up with rice etc.

Ours isn't one of the very low ones, £30 for two. We get plenty of protein, easily five a day fruit and vegetables, and have a normal serve of rice or equivalent. Often we have vegetable protein though. Yesterday we had cauliflower and chickpea curry for example.

£64 which (having had a quick look at the receipt) gives us enough for about 9 days (with the exception of bread and milk top ups, plus I forgot a couple of ingredients for a curry I’m making tonight so will need to pop back today for about another £2 worth)
That’s for 2 adults and a 4 year old (so includes kids snacks like cereal bars etc)
It’s Aldi though, the same shop at Tesco would have been closer to £100

The above includes meat nearly every day by the way
