That's it really. We are skint at the moment and I am off to Aldi with £20 to buy as much as possible to last as long as possible for 2 adults and two primary age children.
Have toiletries and cleaning products but am new to shopping on a budget and any tips would be much appreciated.

Before you go, I would definitely advise you to do a mealplanner, which should help to make sure that nothing goes to waste and that you stick to your budget. I have recently tried this and have considerably reduced my spending on food. Try these links for ideas:

Look for the Super 6 veg at Aldi also - you'll find broccoli, carrots etc for just 39p each.

Hope this helps!

You can do a lot worse than buy the deluxe ice-cream in there esp. the strawberry or vanilla flavours - kids love it!!

Some things are cheaper in ASDA. ie their smart price mushy peas are really good and only 10p. I always do a bit of both.
