To ask, what's the highest priced item in your weekly shop?

[MrsPotatoHeadsSheeWee]

I'm always interested to see what was the highest priced item in my food shop.

Usually it is processed/pre-made which tops the list. Or cleaning items like laundry products; I've started to buy dish washer tabs monthly via Amazon.

This shop it was a bucket of Linda McCartney southern fried chicken- £5.

Or it could be the two boxes of cat food, £8 total on a multi-buy. £4 each instead of £5.

Ingredient-type items seem cheap as chips in comparison.

What is your highest priced item?

Dishwasher tablets
Joints of meat
Loo roll
Alcohol
Nappies

Coffee beans, and I'm surprised there aren't more saying that.
Salmon, sometimes.
Alcohol.
18 pack toilet rolls.

Wine!

Im in the USA, so our package sizes are often larger which puts up the unit price. My last one was a gallon of milk for $6.39 or 4lbs of beef mince for $31.96 ($7.99 a pound) but it was grass fed beef so much more expensive. We cant buy alcohol in our supermarket, so that is separate and I dont have to declare it 🤣

Gin £20 to £30

This weekend, some Thatchers cloudy cider for £5.50 which was actually not that great and we won't buy again.

Normally though it would be something mundane like loo roll or dishwasher tabs.

Big tin of olive oil £33

Baby milk £9

Sunday joint

Cat food and salmon. I'm tempted to ditch them both and eat the cats.

Whiskas cat food £9 a box, recently had to have our dog PTS so that was another £9

If I don't need to include them, then the other things would include:

Crispy duck from Asda for dh
Vegetarian "meats"/food for ds2
Toilet roll
Soap powder
Dishwasher tablets

Just remembered on our last delivery we got a pack of coke which was £10.

Our regular wine is £9.50 I think. If we get a whole chicken it is £7-£8 but the last couple of times I've put one on our order it hasn't come. We usually have several things around the £4 mark - fish, meat, cheese, hot chocolate. DS1's dry nites are £5. Then dishwasher tablets are a lot, can't remember how much.

Basic single item this week was Lurpak 750g at £4. Not very exciting.

I've just had delivered from a free range/organic butcher in London, which was approx £80. That included shin of beef, ox kidney, rare breed lamb chops, chicken supremes, beef mince, sausages and sirloin steak. All tucked in the freezer, it will last me ages as I live alone.

Weekly shop, this week the highest priced item is a bottle of Drambuie - £25.

This week, it was baby formula, salon fillets, chicken fillets and asparagus that ended up the most expensive😁

This thread has got me thinking as my ‘weekly shop’ spend doesn’t really reflect my actually spending! All the ‘big ticket items’ we source elsewhere. All our laundry stuff comes online as does our pet food. Things like toilet roll we get from Costco and the majority of our alcohol is delivered to us from our local wine merchant! I don’t think I want to sit down and add it all up 😝

DH's beers - usually get a bulk pack as it works out cheaper
Loo roll
dishwasher tablets
All the cat food we buy all week put together costs us a lot!

Vodka and cat food

Wine * 7 = £56

Same here MrsR but we've never done a weekly shop anyway, we just go when we can be arsed or really need to. Probably averages twice a week and varies from milk and a few bits at the Co-op to a big stock up in Asda, or maybe some treaty bits from M&S.

Catfood mostly comes from Zooplus. I bought 6 bottles of gin from The Drop Store a couple of weeks ago, so that will last me ages. I drink Waitrose essential tonic, so got enough to last a couple of months a few weeks ago as I don't get to Waitrose that often.
We got a couple of big packs of toilet rolls in Costco and enough dishwasher tablets to last until the end of the year when on a very good offer also in Costco.

I have no idea what we spend, but what I do know is that we waste almost nothing and just about everything we buy is at the best price available for that item, so it probably averages out at not that much.

Today is £3 box of crunchy nut cornflakes!

Whatever I pick up from the Isle of Shite at Lidl.

It’s usually alcohol

Used to be dog food- get that delivered now. Or dishwasher/clothes washing tabs- get them delivered now. Or booze- dont have it an more. But I did buy a jar of coffee for £5 and tea bags for £3 but I buy them so rarely, otherwise it's a pack of 6 couldron vegetarian sausages for £2.50.

Or even the Aisle of Shite! Sometimes a toaster, sometimes a pair of leggings, sometimes a drill.
