How much has your food shop come to?

[MsWalterMitty]

I’ve been out this morning. Did my whole shop in Booths, which is rare as it can be over priced… but it was quiet, compared to Aldi down the road! So I paid for less stress.

For 4 of us, 2 adults 2 kids under 13 it has cost me £162 for at least 3 days worth of meals, puddings, snacks and drinks.

I was thinking I’d done quite well!! But not I see it written down 🙈🙈

How are you guys getting on?

£85 in Aldi
£21 in B&M (top up wood for the log burner, birthday cards, a few bags of chocolate and some branston pickle)
£30 in Asda mainly on a gammon joint, sausages, porridge and bagels.

Doesn’t include the chicken or beef as we got those a few weeks ago and slung in freezer just in case. No one likes Turkey.

But that’s for a weeks worth of breakfast, lunch and dinner.

I'm feeling better about mine now! £140 for 4 adults, a teenager and a 10 year old. To be fair I have been buying some bits ahead of time and wine is coming with the guests.

Was about £300, mostly in Aldi and then Sainsburys topup which I spent £65 Nectar points so that was good. This includes all the booze too. The turkey and other meat stuff from the farm has cost another £100 on top of that. There's 4 adults and 1 kid for the actual Christmas meal.
It's quite over the top when I write it down but when I look at it I wouldn't have thought it looked so bad.
The booze takes up quite a lot and that should do New year too

£125, and we're not even making Xmas dinner! And I forgot butter
2 adults and one ds. Already tore into santas mince pies

Ours was £250 in tescos! But that includes food for the week, alcohol and we will have 8 people for Christmas. Doesn't include the main beef joint which we got separately.

It was about £300 in total from Tesco, M & S and COOK for 4 adults and 2 children for about 4 days.

About £450 for Xmas day and a party at ours boxing day. This includes a load of booze and buffet-type food, crackers, new tablecloth etc. Mix of Sainsbury's and M&S.

Just over £250 includes a couple of bottles of spirits and boxes of chocolates. To feed 3 adults and a 4 year old.

£37 in Sainsburys for fruit, veg and cream and a few store cupboard bits. £75 in M&S for the meat and desserts. That’s for 2 adults and a toddler for 5 days.

We bought some wine and chutneys etc with our weekly shops in November.

£180 no alcohol yet tho!

£250 that’s for four of us. DH and I are incredibly light drinkers, MIL is teetotal so DS has bought £50 of beer and cider. Our shop did include a bottle of champagne that was £30. I know his GF contribution will be buying a take away as she offered and is with us for a week.

A typo should be five of us.

£64, 2 adults, 1 toddler, 1 newborn. Everything got delivered yesterday, I'm finally feeling fully prepared and can relax

@Littlewhiteballs awww your post has warmed my cockles! Have a fabulous Christmas, everyone deserves to be treated with lovely food at Christmastime Xx

£150 butcher
£250 Morrisons
£200 M&S

Most I've ever spent.

Should last a good while - just discovered I've ran out of tea bags. 🙄

7 adults and 4 children for Christmas Day.

Lots more informally on Boxing Day - if rules allow.

£110 for the weekly shop from asda which includes the Xmas food (feeding 5 adults and 1 child Xmas day and 2 adults 1 child the rest of the week).

£110 in M&S
£168.50 in Tesco this morning.
£40 to a neighbour for cupcakes/ cakes.
Fuck known what I will be in the butchers £££££'s
Tomorrow I'm going to get my hair and nails done then STRAIGHT home without visiting any more shops 🙉🙉

No idea but hundreds with the booze

£110 Morrison’s food to order and £40 in the shop.

And I’ve got Covid so won’t be able to taste any of it my sense of smell has totally gone!

Lidl this morning, food for today - Christmas Day including lots of party type food: £66!!

Was meant to be £76 but I had a £10 voucher but even so it still surprised me, feel like I’ve robbed them

Mine was about £160 but I’d saved all my nectar points and substitution coupons so it was about £55. Doesn’t include drinks but does include some normal weekly shop stuff.

£84 just on the meat 😱

£59.27 thanks to Marcus Rashford.

That doesn't include the turkey, I bought a frozen one a few weeks ago.

No alcohol but a few treats like fruitcake, crisps and some Aldi chocolate.

Just me and 3 teens. The vouchers are a godsend.

Only DH, DD18 and I for Christmas day so only about £50 - only 1 bottle of wine as DH doesn't drink and me occasionally. We did have a £100 Cote at Home voucher from work which was grateful received
