How much is your weekly shop?

[AnonymousBleep]

Every time I nip into Aldi for yet another bag of fruit/yoghurt/milk/bread/cat food (roughly every three days) I wonder if I spend too much on groceries. I mainly shop at Aldi/Lidl (unless there are specialist ingredients I need from Waitrose which always has everything, just at a price) and spend £150 a week on groceries for myself, two teens, a cat and two dogs. Is this loads? One of my teens is training and obsessed with protein and is costing me a fortune in fresh fruit and yoghurt and variants of chicken, but I figure there are worse problems I could have as he doesn't drink or vape and is a good lad! I WFH so that £150 includes my lunches and my daughter's packed lunch, although my son gets lunch at school.

£600 a month on groceries just seems a lot!

About £200 a week Tesco delivery- 4 adults and a teenager, a dog and two cats.

Spend about £30-£40 in the week topping up. This is a fair bit of non-food too so not just groceries.

It's about 10-20% cheaper than Sainsbury's.

Aldi is about 30% cheaper but I like the convenience of delivery and it has been very reliable so far.

This is so interesting! My last 2 shops have hit the £200 mark! Such a shock. Used to be £80ish. Usually around £130 though, it was higher due to a fairly mediocre meal for 11 and wine. We are 2 adults (one high protein) and 3 children (buying a few pouches, nappies, rice cakes).... I've been shocked recently at the cost tbh. We buy very cheap essentials, meat, fruit and high protein yoghurt is expensive.

We spend about 120£ on average but we also do restock shops of dry goods that come to 250£ every couple of months so that brings the average up. Plus I end up buying extra berries or apples or bread throughout the week 🫣
