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?

Washing powder or dishwashing tablets is usually my biggest buy and then I try and get them on offer.

Last shop it was a four pack apple juice for £3.

£6 on a massive tub of peanut butter
Dishwasher tabs
£10 on beer.

Noticed lots of prices creeping up...

Seabass - £20 (12 fillets)
Fresh king prawns - £20

From my fish monger today.

This week blueberries and raspberries from M&S, £5 a pack.

Wine! 🍷

Mine is always wine at £6 max.

This week was suncream at £6, most expensive food item was diced beef at £4. More expensive items would be high boxes of cat food, large jars of coffee and a case of Pepsi max on an irregular basis.

Pair of slippers this week

Cat food - £9
Hair dye - £8
Chicken breasts - £10

I'm still at the person who buys £12 cat litter! Ours is the crappy £1.50 stuff.

Usually wine! Or cleaning products. But also fish - cod as £11 last week. We don't eat a lot of meat and what we do tends to be cheaper like mice etc. But High quality free range chicken is at least £9. We have steak about once a month and that's easily £10. Ditto lamb chops.

I don't do roasts very often but when I do it's expensive...

I think mine was a salmon steak as a treat this week! Usually it's cat litter though.

I don't drink and dh buys his beer online so no booze included. I try to rotate our expensive items through the month so
Week1 - pay day - meat for the month, stock freezer and tins
Week 2 - toiletries
Week 3 - cleaning products
Week 4 - nappies, nappy sacks etc
Every week we have the usual fresh fruit, veg, bread, milk, cheese etc

Roughly every 10 days between each shop for me (since long before lockdown) but my most expensive items are the 20 large grapefruits at £12. (Breakfast for 10 days)
Once in a blue moon I'll splash out on a fillet steak usually about £8.00

veuve clicquot- £35

An organic chicken £12. But if we buy booze it’s usually wine at sprouts £16/18 a bottle or gin (. £30)

£46 bottle of monkey gin, but only put it in trolley to book slot, let’s hope I get round to cancelling😂
Usually smoked salmon, but this week some reblechon at £5.18.

cat food 2x boxes at £4 each
Chicken breast at £9 a tray
Beer £15 box

All the cats pushing up our shopping bills, we're being taken for mugs aren't we.

Wine
Organic chicken and meat
Strawberries
Washing detergent
Toilet paper

Usually nappies, laundry detergent and beer or wine. We don't have a roast every Sunday as I'm stingy but I also like to do it properly, so every 2-3 weeks it tends to be the Sunday joint of meat.

1 ltr organic olive oil, £7.99. But we don't buy it very often; it lasts weeks.

I have put my cats back on tinned food as it works out cheaper and you can recycle the tins.
When they were on packets one box of 12 would last 2 days costing a minimum of £3 for Felix. Three cats eating 2 packs each a day. Now a 12 pack of butchers choice last 6 days and cost around £6.
Saving £3 per week = £156 per year

Either coffee, cheese or meat if not buying alcohol.

Weeks where we don't buy much /any meat because we have enough frozen are significantly cheaper.

Tend to buy cleaning stuff in bulk so not really part of the regular weekly shop.

Fresh meat,so either a leg of lamb or some rump steaks £11-£14.

My DH coffee it's about £7 per jar and he seems to be going through one every couple of weeks.
