So how do you go about your food shopping?

I seem to spend my life in Tesco's and hate it. Have tried doing a monthly online shop for store cupboard type stuff but its a nightmare and takes forever so have given up. Seem to go to Tesco's about 3 times a week at the moment as otherwise nothing is fresh enough.

Also resent giving Tesco's my money but have given veg shop/butchers a go and its just more hassle as have to go to supermarket anyway for other bits and pieces.

Just wondered if most people manage on a weekly shop - and how?

Also what do you think is a reasonable amount to spend a week for 2 adults and 1 child?

Weekly Ocado delivery. One or two trips to local Farmers Market. And the occasional dash into Waitrose for something I forgot to put on the Ocado order.

Monthly online shop from Tesco using this site here which is 100 times better than the Tesco site. Have a organic fruit and veg box once a week and go to the Co-op in the village for milk and bread and fruit top ups. I meal plan and freeze all my meats usually. My Tesco shop is about £160-£180, the veg box £11 per week and we must spend another £10-20 a week topping up...
Now I have written that down where does all the money go. That does not add up to the lack of funds in my bank account ....
