To ask how much you spend on you weekly shop?

[Mypremiumwhat]

2 adults 4 dcs here (aged 7 down to toddler) and since covid, our grocery budget has slowly eeked up and we're now spending £130-£150 p/w. We don't drink so no alcohol included, but that figure does include toiletries like shower gel and also cleaning products. The kids take packed lunches to school, and with dh and I both working from home, the groceries include lunch for us too.

I shop at a more expensive supermarket cos they're the only ones that deliver to my house (and they charge a fiver to deliver which ups the cost even more), but I reckon if I dragged my arse to aldi or lidl I could probably knock at least £50 off my budget. I cook lots from scratch, and lots by batch.

Am I being unrealistic to think I could get a good weeks shopping in aldi or lidl for under £100? The only concern I have would be that the fruit, veg and bread from aldi doesn't last as long, and I'd hate to have to do a top up shop as I'd end up spending more.

We switched to Aldi from Sainsbury's delivery and saved about a third on our weekly budget. We honestly couldn't believe it the first time we did a weekly shop in Aldi.
Decent quality just less choice. Which is not necessarily a bad thing.

However, we have noticed that food prices have really gone up in the past couple of years but we can feed our family of 4 including 2 teenagers for around £100 per week.

Mostly we spend more though as the Aldi random aisle is hard to resist. I have been known to add a telescope or orbital sander to the weekly shop just cos it's there...

2 adults £75 to £100 including cleaning products, basic toiletries and cat food
I buy some things at Aldi/Lidl then rest at Tesco/Sainsbury’s with occasional bits from Booths
I am the queen of yellow stickers though and have 2 freezers so we eat very well on that amount
Yesterday I bought 2 legs of lamb for £3 each venison steak packs x 2 for £1.50, king prawns £1.25 thats 7 evening meals (although obviously will not be eaten on the same week)

Two adults and one cat. About £80 a week, but we eat well and I don’t drink alcohol. I get my shopping delivered but have a delivery pass which saves a lot of money on delivery charges

Also, if you have Amazon prime, Morrisons will deliver groceries for free if you spend at least £40

£80-100 a week for 2 adults and 2 kids. We use a supermarket with a delivery package so it’s £6ish a month for free delivery. I would try another supermarket if possible and see if that saves you money.

I would love to go to aldi etc but then I think about the time I loose and stress levels with kids and having it delivers wins every time

I spend about £90-£100 per week in Aldi for family of 6 with two teenage boys. Food costs have def gone up. I keep the cost low by only buying mince/sausages/chicken drumsticks and having a few cheap veggie meals per week. I also get a massive block of cheddar for lunches. We usually spend about £10 for a top up. I find a quality is fine. I should add that we bake most of our own bread at moment so that probably saves £5 or so. I find Tesco is only about £10 more if I buy mostly the value range.

I spend about the same and I’m a single parent with 4 children. Personally I don’t like Aldi or Lidl so won’t be switching the times I’ve gone in there no way could I do a weekly shop in them and my kids wouldn’t eat most of it

I spend about £120. two adults and five children, one a teen.

tbh I don't just shop in one supetmarket. I do go to Aldi/Lidl/Asda but I also top up for toiletries/cleaning products etc at Home bargains.
I shop at Heron foods for yougurts and any random special offers on treats.

So it breaks down as about £75 in the supetmarket on fresh meat, veg, essentials, another £20 at Heron foods and approx £30 at Home Bargains.

I am lucky enough to live within a mile of all of these shops so the whole trip takes less than an hour and a half but its worth it to keep the monthly bill under £500.

I spent £89 in Aldi yesterday which was pretty much my main weekly shop. Another £50 in ASDA as my son is gluten free and fussy plus I bought wine. Then another £70 in B&M for monthly toiletries etc. The shop I got in Aldi had more than the Tesco one which would have cost £116. Milk and meat get delivered and cost £90 a month.

My bill has shot through the roof though. I am averaging £140 a week but Aldi brought it down yesterday.

About £150 a week for family of 4. That’s not including cleaning stuff and toiletries.

About £120 a week. 2 adults and 1 teen. Soon to be plus small baby, so will likely increase

£200-250 PW with Ocado during lockdown. 2 adults and 2 teens
It should go down once the dc are back at school

I swapped from sainsburys to Lidl and have gone from £50pw to £25-30

We are a family of 2 adults, 2 kids and a cat we spend about £100 a week
I like a lot of things Aldi and Lidl do but the quality of the fruit, vegetables and salad isn't great so I buy that from different supermarkets that sell class A stuff as it's much better quality and lasts longer and we don't end up throwing stuff out

About £200 including top up shops, alcohol and mostly organic. Plenty of quick to prepare things due to zero time to cook and usually things like salmon and steak.

Family of three adults, £250 plus £60 on takeaways.

Two adults, 3 year old and 1 year old plus two cats and including toiletries and cleaning products (and a bottle of wine each week) £100-120 a week; I go to aldi once a month to bulk buy stuff that is cheaper there although I often then end up buying stuff on their special buys so spend more!

2 adults and 3 DC over 8, the last year it has dramatically increased from about £110 per week to probably over £200. Hoping things even out a bit when they are back at school.

Am I having deja vu or did you start this same thread yesterday, I'm sure I've read this in the past day?

Me and the dog, £50 a fortnight. Used to be that every 3wks but the prices are rocketing up.

2 adults and 2 dc (5 and 7)here and we spend £120-150 a week. I don't think that what you're spending is that bad for 6 people but you could probably get it under £100 with careful planning and switching to aldi.

It's about £140 at the moment (groceries, household stuff etc). 4 adults and a cat.
It is getting more and more expensive! It's ridiculous.

around €150 (£130ish) for 3 adults + 1 teenager

Aldi have started doing click and collect in some stores if you can't face doing a shop

Nope didn't post this yesterday, glad I'm not the only one stressing about my spend

It seems from the responses that we're actually pretty average then! I was hoping everyone would tell me I'm spending a fortune and that I'd be able to save a packet by eating dried beans and mumsnet chicken for a month

Unfortunately, due to where I live, the only supermarket that delivers to me is the expensive one that I currently use. My nearest Tesco do c+c but it's a bit of a pain in the arse to get to. No Aldis in my city have c+c yet
