Do you food shop in one place or shop around?

Just that really…

I have just totalled up how much we spent on food this month and gasped!

Do you shop around or in just one place? For example, meat in one place, fruit and veg elsewhere, etc?

Please share your tips!

Aldi for frozen and cupboard essentials
Asda for milk and fresh fruit and veg
Home bargains for cupboard stuff and cleaning.
Meat from butchers.

I don't shop around. I have a Tesco delivery pass so get a delivery once a week. Get milk delivered twice a week. Any other bits might be from Sainsburys or M&S near work, Tesco or the market near home.

Thanks all. Some good ideas. Never thought about ordering food from Amazon!

Amazon always seems very expensive to me for food, which makes sense because the cost of delivery would often be high due to items being relatively big and heavy for the price, so proceed with caution.

I shop around, always.
I do like certain products from certain shops but I'll seek out a bargain if I can. I wait until products go on offer if I can then buy in bulk which will hopefully see me through until it comes up on offer again. Waitrose offers are still surprisingly good. Love getting yellow stickered bargains but where I am they are nowhere near as good or plentiful as they used to be.
Today I bought Fevertree tonic on offer in Morrisons, my usual brands of toothpaste and body cream both on offer in Boots and a reduced curry in Waitrose.
