Tesco

Around £180, 4 adults, 1 teen. Used to be £100.
Includes 2 sporty adults (athletes) all very tall.

Probably about £150 per week all in for 2 adults 1 teen.

That's Sainsbury's/Booths/Butchers for meat.

About £250+ a week. Two adults and two teens. We get through a lot of things like fresh herbs, berries, bubble tea stuff, and cake making ingredients, some wine, toiletries and other non-meal related things. Dog food and treats are bought separately at a pet food shop and skincare elsewhere as well.

Main shop is Aldi but Sainsbury and Waitrose for some items they don't sell.

About £150-180 a week for 6 of us. BUT our cupboards are fully stocked for that, spares of all non perishables etc. So I could get it down by only buying what we were actually going to eat that week and also by cutting out the extras (eg one choice or cereal, or toast, rather than a choice of 4 cereals and scotch pancakes/ crumpets/bagels etc as well as toast)

I do two big shops of over £200 at Tesco each month (Clubcard plus) and then just buy fresh stuff in between plus the stuff that I buy from elsewhere

About 120.00 usually Aldi
2 adults and 2 teenagers which eat loads

I honestly have no idea.

Absolutely shite at budgeting.

At a guess ~£100/week. One adult.

RomeoRivers · 03/10/2024 10:01

£120 a week, 2 adults + 2 toddlers
Tesco + 1 M+S a month

Spud90 · 03/10/2024 10:09

£100-120 a week depending what we need. 2 adults, 13yo DS, 6yo DS. Tesco
