Food shopping

[travelmadmum23]

In total how much does your weekly shop cost and your location?

Also are you branded, non branded or a mixture?

Interested to see how this varies throughout the UK

Around £100/month for 6 animals inc flea treatments, worming, vaccinations, cat litter, all food and treats.
Excludes any vet bills, of which our regular costs at the moment are £160 every 6 months for medications and vet visit/prescription charges, so around £26/month.

Food/toiletries, etc, for 2A plus 1A dc home for abt 7 months/year comes to approx £70/week.

We generally buy own brands, and we hardly ever buy brands unless on offer/discounted and cheaper than alternatives.
Eggs are free range, meat is whatever is on offer from our local butchers or red tractor supermarket stuff. We mostly shop in Aldi and Asda.

Another one who’s asking why the location is important for supermarkets. I get that a farm shop NE could be very different prices to London but most veg boxes/Gousto etc are fixed.

My Ocado is generally £150 per week for three adults ish. Lunches only cover one adult weekdays during term time. Not all of that is food though. I buy lots of flash sale offers and consider us to eat very well. Occasionally a rib of beef that I’ll cut into steaks or similar. Occasionally I’d do Gousto/HF if I’m getting bored with my recipes. Occasionally we might stock up at Iceland or farmer market.

£60-70 a week, 2 adults, eat out main meal once a week but includes all breakfasts and lunches plus morning coffee (take in reusable cup). SW. some weeks it's more like £30, not sure how people spend so much?

I just checked on the credit card statement (we have a joint card that we put food, petrol, eating out and any household expenses on - we're both retired), and I was pleasantly surprised to see we only spent £480 on food in the last month. That's for three adults. I do cook from scratch, and buy in bulk and freeze fish and meat. Main places I shop are Lidl, Sainsbury's, Aldi, M&S, Ocado and Costco.
We do eat quite a few vegetarian meals, and I meal plan which helps.

Probably about £200 per week. That’s for 2 adults, 3 primary age children and a baby (no food but the total does include a pack of nappies each week). We spend around £130 per week in Aldi and the rest is Waitrose for things that Aldi don’t stock or that we’ve forgotten/that run out quicker than expected!

I’d really like to get that figure down but I don’t think we buy many luxuries (total includes cleaning products, toiletries and laundry stuff).

Two adults, two dogs, no kids.
our weekly shop averages between £80-£95 per week. We buy a mix of branded & unbranded items.

Family of 5 , 2 adults 3 children. Averaging £300 a week for everything apart from alcohol which I buy separately

3 adults , about £120 a week from Aldi. Used to be a LOT cheaper, if I go to Tesco I feel like I've been mugged!

We average £55 a week. 4 adults, 1 teenager. This includes toiletries and cleaning products. We cook very much from scratch.

Buy flour in bulk from a mill. We make our own bread and baked goods.
Milk and butter from milkman. I make our own yogurt.
Grow a lot of our fruit&veg. Buy the rest from greengrocer, Tesco, Lidl or Waitrose.
Dried goods (pasta, rice, beans, pulses) and household goods bought in bulk when there is a good deal.
We share a flock of chickens with two other families so don't buy eggs.
Meat from butcher, but eaten 1/2 times a week. Limited alcohol.
Costs include animal feed, gardening supplies, rent for additional garden and chicken site. Expenditure is spiky, but I average over a year 1 Feb to 31 Jan.

It takes time, and costs are definitely higher than they were. But we eat very well.
