How much do you spend on weekly shop?

[Ontobetterthings]

2 adults and 2 dc and dog. I'm spending £230 a week. I'm buying brands. I'm wondering if this is unusual or should I cut back. It seems a lot. How much are you spending?

About £150 for 4 people + 3 cats includes food, toiletries, cleaning Etc

£50-£60 for an adult and teen, includes loo roll, toiletries etc. Cat food bought separately.

2 adults (3 adults 2 nights a week) 3 kids, 2 large dogs. About £100 just on food, not including toiletries, cleaning products etc.

About £75 per week. That’s up from about £50-60 before the price rises.
2 adults, 2 young DC, no pets.
We meal plan main meals, two cheap meals (beans/egg on toast etc) a week.
I buy Asda smart price a lot of the time, I use blue light discount.

Oh and that’s including toiletries, we use a shampoo bar and £1 conditioner. Loo roll I buy in bulk from home bargains.

£58 2 adults one young DC. 2 DSC were here at weekend

£230-£250 per week, family of five. Including all cleaning stuff and food. Not had to cut back yet but could do

Also includes wine

I'd say £60-£70 a week

I spend around £100-110 weekly. That’s for two adults and three children. Including toiletries.

£250 2 ADULTS 3 KIDS PER WEEK MIN NON BRANDED

We are the same as you - 2 adults, 2 DC and one dog. We spend about £70-80 on the big weekly shop, including any toiletries/cleaning products, and then maybe £50ish throughout the week when we run out of something/need fresh fruit etc. So about £120-130 a week all in?

That’s quite a lot. Do you meal plan?

What we spend is irrelevant though. If you can afford and want to buy branded food go for it

2 adults, 2 teens and 2 dogs. Averaging about £200 at the moment. I need to cut it down but I don't buy any extras already!

Probably £180 for 2 adults, including our organic veg box. Now our kids have all left home, we can choose quality over quantity and are thoroughly enjoying being able to do so. We also have busy weekends with family coming home so I always keep the treat cupboard well stocked.

2 adults, 3 teens, a dog and same cost as you op. I’m finding it’s gone up massively and the size of packets smaller (or at least the contents!)

I think that's a lot. We don't have a dog. 2 adults, 2 kids and we spend half that. I don't buy brands though.

It’s all nonsense though isn’t it. You spend what you can afford (hopefully).
its not hard to see that if you swapped brands for non branded products you’ll save money.

£250ish, basically 3 adults and one very hungry 11 year old son who eats as much as me. I’d go so far as to call it 4 adults really as I make him a packed lunch but buy myself lunch mostly on my office days (this doesn’t come out of the food budget, I buy this from my personal spends).
It’s a lot of money really but we have always eaten a lot of meat and buy from either our butcher or farm down the road. Everything else comes from Ocado.

How are you spending that much?

That does seem a lot.
We spend approx £80 a week in Aldi. On top of that we pay £6 a week to the milk man, £20 a month on cat food and around £50 a month at Costco bulk buying things like tinned tomatoes, toilet roll and dishwasher tablets.

Around £50 - £70 a week depending on where I shop, me and a 2 year old, includes soya/oat milk and nappies

Around £100/£120 per week for 2 adults and a toddler.

That doesn't include toiletries or cleaning products.

Realistically, £80-90 on 1 adult (me!) and 2 nearly 5 year olds, plus 2 felines.
Includes cleaning stuff and toiletries (I hate the latter word, for some reason).
I think I could massively cut back if I cooked from scratch, but I don't.
I hate threads like this as it rubs ones nose in how other people love.
