Help me reduce my shopping bill

26 replies

Smarshian · 09/11/2017 10:24

In our house we have me, DH and DD (10 months) and "D"Cat Grin. I can't seem to reduce our food shopping bill from an average of £90 per week. This includes all meals/lunches for all of us and cat food/nappies/formula/washing stuff etc. Except for one meal where we will usually once a week get a takeaway/go for a pub lunch.
Is this a reasonable amount? Am I wishing for too much to reduce this?
We usually get a bottle of wine a week (I'm not drinking as pg but DH likes the occasional glass).
This week spent £66 in Tesco and then £33 in Aldi (but did buy 3 bottles of wine as they are cheaper in there and go less often).
I have only bought one meat item (whole chicken) to do us for 2 main meals. The rest of our meals will be veggie/tuna pasta bake.
We usually eat a main meal for dinner together - Dd eats what we have most of the time.
Any bright ideas?
