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?

Alcohol
Washing powder/tabs
48xcat food pouches
Rump steak

Gin or wine

Wine

All my household items get purchased separately so for me it’s generally a good cut of meat. We tend to have one really good one a week.

I usually get a half side of salmon every week. Tends to be around £6.

Persil. It's always persil

DH razors usually (not weekly though) We also buy the big boxes of laundry powder so that bumps it up a bit.

Marsala £11.99. A one-off though, will last for ages.

Meat.
A free range chicken that did one meal (sorry MN) was €6+.
Like OP I like to glance through my receipt, but I look at the VAT percentage.
It certainly puts you off buying ready prepared when the individual ingredients are in a lower category. Basic foodstuffs are 4% here in Italy while luxury is 20 or maybe 22%. Another chunk that goes straight into the government coffers.
Toothpaste is in the luxury category. I would have thought it was a pretty essential product...

Washing powder probably.

Loo rolls. £7.50. I've noticed they have gone up in price since lockdown. I'm building up the Second Wave/Brexit stash.
After loo roll the next single item with the highest price is ice cream at £2.20 but butter is my biggest spend as I buy several blocks each week. Then fruit. The price of fruit really annoys me.

Milk - lacto free and soya only in this house. £1.40 plus for a carton. We go through 7 plus a week ...! Crazy amount of money to spend on milk!
(Although have just found that also do lacto free for 85p ... winner!)

Usually the iberico ham and truffle oil, bbs.

This week it’s probably wine or the combined cost of stocking up on Asda’s craft beer offers

Gin
Cat litter
Cat food
Dog food
Meat
Pull ups

Fairy Pods £5 ish

Just check email from delivery today cheese £3.50, cheapest cucumber 50p

This week it was a croquet set and a badminton set - £10 each -lidl.

Normally it would be a free range chicken or rib eye steak

Gin. But it works out good value as a bottle lasts a few weeks maybe

Very large bottle of gin as it was cheaper per litre,normally the same but I noticed a difference this time.

We buy online more than from supermarkets ,we buy.a lot of dates usually 1kg boxes and they tend to be expensive , nuts again expensive , nutritional yeast we buy in bulk and we buy 2.5kg of vegan cheese at a time a nd a kilo of vegan parmesan together that's about £40 I buy a lot of cleaning products in bulk online as I buy natural things and we buy a couple of large fruit & veg boxes so don't really have a lot to buy from supermarkets , beyond burgers are a lot when you.need to buy enough for 5! Also I'm ceoliac and that is ridiculously expensive for nicer things, decent pasta is usually £4 for 400/500g 😱 supermarkets are.cheaper but nowhere near as nice x

Wine or Gin.

Usually wine but didn’t get any this week. This week it was an £8 bottle of shampoo which is way more than I would usually spend so hope it’s nice!

We didn’t buy any booze this week, so the most expensive single item was a big dressed crab.
