Wtf have I done!

[Supermercado]

How much has your supermarket shop cost including top ups, how big is your family and what do you make with it? I've just spent a small fortune on food for one person, which included fresh vegetables, yogurt, cheese, and frozen fruit but it amounted to a bit over £60. Shopping in asda. Not including dog food, wine, or toiletries. NO lobster or anything of the sort. A multi pack of tuna. Besides a box of lollies and tea, no treats. It didnt even include the top up milk that I'll have to get and I've forgotten ingredients still. I cant afford to do this every week but is it the price you pay to have a good diet or is it possible for less?

Do you live near an Aldi ?

I can't do a full shop there because of restricted choice, but their prices are substantially cheaper than the bigger supermarkets.

I think it's hard to say without knowing exactly what you bought and your meal plan for the week. But there is no getting away from the fact that food is getting more expensive. And shopping for one means you don't benefit from economies of scale. It helps to eat seasonal, basic produce, so apples, cauliflower, broccoli, carrots, cucumbers, lettuce etc. If you eat meat reduce the amount and frequency. Use strong flavours like chorizo and mature cheese so you get more flavour for less of the product.
