To ask you how much you spend a week on shopping

[Bunnyfuller]

I am trying to negotiate with a very tight DH that he needs to contribute more than he is doing to our household expenses. He says I could cut back on the household shop then I wouldn’t need him to.

Family : Him, me, 2 teenage girls, a dog and a cat.

what’s your average spend for your weekly shop, and which shop?

He has conveniently forgotten that there’s a cost of living crisis and my tolerance for this part of his nature is running out rapidly.

2 adults, 2 kids and a dog. Both kids have packed lunch for school.
Varies between £120-170 per week.

OP I think most of us share your annoyance. May we ask what you are currently spending?

Around £60 a week for two people. Using offers and discount codes wherever possible. Everything has become so expensive. We do mostly Aldi for fruit and veg. A lot of online shopping now. Tried Gopuff the latest. Sharing code for anyone who would like a discount.

Oh FFS. Stingy but he still wants subscriptions. Tell him to do the food shopping this week. I imagine it will be a shock to his system when he finds out how much stuff actually costs.

We probably spend £200-£250 for 2 adults, 1 toddler and 2 ungrateful bastard cats. Cat food has gone up and litter has gone from £2 a bag to £5 a bag.

About 140 a week - 2 adults, 2 young DC, 1 cat. Includes booze, most toiletries, cleaning stuff etc. Mostly asda, some Lidl. We cut out top up shops by doing 2 evenly sized shops per week instead of 1 big one, which means we don't get too low on fresh stuff. Looking for ways to get it down a bit though tbh.

Our budget is £50pw for two adults. 90% of time I'm under budget, but don't go over by more than £3pw if that happens. This includes a cheap bottle of wine (£4.50), sometimes two or a bottle of wine/lager. Also includes half our toiletries (other half I buy at work on offer and double staff discount). We have three main meals a day plus two snacks of biscuits/cake and fruit. I'm very careful though, we have mainly fruit that's on offer, keep a close eye on Tesco/Lidl prices and offers, and buy cheapest option from whichever. Salmon fillets reduced this week, so I've spent £10.06 on ten fillets which are in freezer. Diet is veggie/pescatarian as I don't like meat.

Cats have their own budget of £15pw, which is about right.

It varies between £130 - £200 a week, two of us and a dog.

Let him meal plan and shop for the week and show you how its done

About £130 a week for me , one large breed dog , one small dog and wild bird seed .

Sometimes do top ups for fruit , drinks , chocolate , work snacks and breakfast butties .

Family of 4 adults, £350 per week plus at least one takeaway or dinner out and a few lunches out per week.

£200 pw, 2 adults, 2 hungry DSs, large dog and cat.

We are spending about £50 for an adult and a teen, cat food separately online. So I would expect £100 for your family minus pets.

About £200, 2 adults, 1 teen boy who eats loads and one teen girl who eats little but expensively. Ddog is raw fed so that’s not included
We don’t get takeaways but go out roughly once a month to eat

2 adults 2 dc’s,we used to spend £120-130 a week at aldi,now it’s £180-£200!
