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?

2 adults 2 children. I spend between £80-110 per week.
I shop at Lidl and top up at a little Tesco.

Seems very high to me. 1 adult, 2 children and 1 cat here. I spend abound £70 a week. I Don’t drink alcohol.

Hello Fresh box for about £65 for 3 adults (me and 2 grown teens and doggo) plus top up shop of about £70 every ten days. The Hello Fresh boxes have really helped me economise, which has really surprised me

2 adults £200ish a fortnight, will be more for Christmas

£50/60 between the two of us. We do have a take away or cheap meal out maybe most weeks. I batch cook for my work meals like slow cooker meals or stir fries. I use frozen veg mainly in those as cheaper. Have some veggie days too.

Should add that’s mainly Aldi with the odd Occado delivery. It’s free delivery and you can sometimes get food value on multi buys. I tend to buy non branded.

2 adults, 1 young child (half the week) and 2 cats - about £80 a week. £60 on a main shop at Asda then £20/£25 on top ups from Co-op

Also just to add we don’t really drink alcohol and that doesn’t include takeaways. Oh and I work from home but fiance works in the office and takes lunch 3/5 days.

I don't understand how people are spending so little!

We're 2 adults 2 DC, one is a toddler but I'm struggling to get it below £180 a week

Really? It sounds exactly like you're overspending from these responses to me!

£120 a week 2 adults 3 dc. That's all food, nappies, toiletries, alcohol. We meal plan but aren't particularly careful and buy lots of "treats".

And you can make
360 adult meals out of that? (3 per adult per day)

What do you have for breakfast?
What's a normal lunch?

I spend roughly £40 a week. I've become a genius at spreading it out for maximum meals.

2 adults, 2 ravenous teenagers and 1 cat.
Around £125 per week.

About £80-£100 a week that's for 2adults a 4yo and a cat but all depends on what shifts we have at work so like next week I'm working late most nights so shopping will be less but takeaway and prepared food will be higher

£100 a week including cleaning products, nappies, dog food etc. Me and 5 kids.

Roughly £45/£50 a week for me, 11 yo DS and our cat. I buy some wine at the weekend. This includes cleaning products and toiletries. I meal plan and batch cook. Also go through the cupboards and freezer every week and only buy what we actually need.

I looked at Hello Fresh, but even with a discount it's £39 for 3 people, 3 meals, 3 x per week (I'm veggie so not included in a box) so that's £13 a meal between 3. Our daily budget for 3 would be half that a least. I don't see how that is ecomical unless I'm missing something?

I've added ours up recently to be about £700 a month for 2 adults and 2 teenage DC. Just buying normal stuff for dinners, school packed lunches and breakfast. I buy some odd toiletries weekly but try and do a Costco shop once a month for all that other stuff, loo roll, detergent etc. It breaks down approx £100 once a month at Costco. Then 4 weekly Tesco deliveries approx £100 each, then top ups during the week maybe from Lidl or Iceland. We buy a mixture of brands and cheapy. With things like snacks my kids can't notice a difference say between Tesco chocolate mini rolls or the branded ones. Some things we like certain brands, like I much prefer Finest ham and McCain over chips, but crisps and snacks,
or tinned goods we try and do cheap x

Four people - about £150 for everything.

I meant to say this has deffo all gone up in the last year or so. Our budget used to be more like £600pm x

Around £250 a week, family of 6. I think it’s a ridiculous amount tbh, I don’t think it needs to be that high but I have ravenous teenagers who seem to inhale food. I’m going to try and reduce it slightly by cooking one less fish or meat meal per week and baking homemade snacks using cheap oats or something similar.

I shop at Aldi. It's about £80 a week for 2 adults & 2 children.
That includes all toiletries, cleaning stuff etc.
I meal plan, never throw food away, only buy what we need, and always non brands.

OP you seem to be spending a lot.

Around £90 a week 2 adults a four year old and a one year old.
An extra £50 a month on toilet roll, cleaning stuff etc

I've been monitoring this carefully for a while. We are me and dh and 1 body building teen. We spend about £130-£140 weekly on food, cleaning products and everyday toiletries. This doesn't include alcohol. We cook mainly from scratch and have lots of meat free meals.
