Please tell me how much your weekly shop is so i canshow dh

[mosschops30]

he gives me £100 a week to do the food shop. That normally is enough, sometimes just over, sometimes just under, feeds 5 of us for 6 days and kn a saturday dh buys a takeaway.
He thins that this amount is totally unreasonable, and i think its pretty good.

So how much do you spend!
How many of you are there?

Thanks

Ours is about £50 week for 2 adults and 2 kids under 5. However, we buy a lot of things in bulk from Costco, which lasts us for many months, including nappies, wipes, toilet paper, kitchen rolls, foil, chicken, bread, mince, dishwasher tablets, tinned tomatoes, ketchup, bin bags, pasta and 20kg bag of rice (which is still going strong, 15 months on!) I also buy milk in bulk and freeze. We don't have a huge house, just a very well stocked garage with chest freezer!

We've only recently started doing regular online shopping and it's almost £100pw for 2 adults and 2 preschool DCs. We do also have my teenage DSDs over a lot.

Need to be a bit more organised really with planning. Just noticed a lot of stuff in the freezer is frostbitten :( what a flipping waste.

BTW we don't smoke or drink, only vice is chocolate. Most meals use pretty cheap ingredients, frozen veg is a godsend!

We spend between £80 and £100 for two adults and two children. We eat very well and DP used to be a chef. An assortment of fresh fish meat etc. DP is fussy and won't buy own brands (snob) But in his defence he pays the food bill and he likes to eat well. When we had DSS at home the food shop was £140 a week!!! Because he likes a lot of ready food. It's surprising how much its gone down by.

£30-40 a week for two adults and two kids under 5. We do top up on milk during the week. I make my own treats for the kids and don't care what my washing powder smells like so long as it cleans. Make everything from scratch pretty much. We do a massive Costco shop for tins, toilet roll etc(we have a store room) which really keeps our costs down.

We budget for £100 a week but unfortunatly does goes over as have 1 fussy eater who doesnt like fruit much This is for two adults and two children under 8. I am currently trying to meal plan to see if I can reduce but items have gone up rather alot have tried to give up on takeaway as that too has increased. Shopping is a nightmare which I now hate.

Total about 110 for 2 weeks, thats everything (Diapers/wipes/wahsing powder ect...) I clip coupons, look for deals, buy in bulk when on sale and pay close attention to what I buy.

oh and we are 28 male, 21 female, 5 male and 2 female and a cat.

Sounds reasonable to me. We have 2 adults and and 2 smallish children and we spend £80-100 pw (do an internet shop once a week and top up with fresh in the high street). I cook from scratch but we do eat well, good quality dairy and meat, although not meat every day.

Probably averages about £150 / week for between 4-6 of us (older ones aren't here to eat all the time).

Probably works out at about £75 a week. I do a big farm shop order for meat every 6-8 weeks and freeze it. I buy some things at the farmer's market, especially at this time of year when there is a lot of cheap fresh veg there, and everything else I buy weekly at the supermarket.

We are a family of 5. I cook from scratch most of the time. We usually have a takeaway or eat out once over the weekend, which isn't included in the £75 a week.

£100 every friday for 2 adults and 5 children ( 1 of whom is 15).
Then another £10 around wednesday to top up on milk and such.

Family of 4 here incl 2 teenage sons - spend around £115 per week. We cook from scratch and waste nothing. Shopping bill used to be £130-40 per week but now shop at ASDA online.

£150 - £200 a week but that does include meeting a gluten free and lactose free diet which costs a fecking fortune.

BitterAndTwistedChoreDodger has very generously offered to share a £30 a week meal plan here

I did a weeks shopping yesterday and had a few luxury items (£8 lump of silverside etc) and washing powder and fabric conditioner. It was £66.50 in total (but did get £22 worth of offers ie bogofs) that will do 6 of us (2 adults 4 dc's under 9) until the end of next week.

2 adults 2 children. £50 on the food shopping per week including cleaning stuff and dog and cat food. Plus £10.50 for ds dinner money. Dd gets given £10 for bits and pieces at school, but as her lunch time is only 40minutes and she would have to queue nearly that long for a lunch she has always taken packed lunch, the tenner lasts her anything from a week to a month! it depends on the weather, which I can understand. Dp and I have a £5 each for the occasional coffee, can of pop etc, again sometimes we spend it sometimes we dont.
So for us I would say roughly £80.
Dp works nights and I work days. I like to shop for a bargain, and dp likes a challenge for the evening meal he cooks the lot from scratch. Oh, and we all always have porridge for breakfast except ds who has porridge and cake because he is like a stick. Dp, Dd and I take packed lunch to work which is a sandwich, fruit, water and what ever cake dp has made.

oops I forgot the milk man, which is another £7 a week.

I spend on average about £50 a week for me, ds and a cat. We eat well for this.

I agree with oter posters if possible hand him the reigns for two months and let him fall flat on his face show you how it's done . It has to be for a good long period of time as otherwise nothing will get replenished properly as it runs out.

I cook a lot from scratch, but everytime i go to shop i end up spending £80-£120. Whether i do it weekly or fortnightly. Plus can easily top up £15-£30. It's a nightmare shopping cost these days. I come back with a bigger bill and less bags to show for it. 5 of us here.

Depends on what I have to buy that particular week, washing powder or whatever but usually about £60-£70 a week for 4 of us, me, DH and two dds 5 and 6. We don't eat meat really but lots of fish. Don't buy alcohol. Jacket potatoes as a meal at least once a week with couscous and salad or maybe tinned fish - luckily my dds love tinned mackeral - or fishfinger sandwiches. Make my own pasta sauces and have spag bol with quorn mince or pasta and pesto with prawns or salmon. Lots of rice too.

Would love to go to the supermarket and buy whatever i wanted but i always shop depending on offers too.

what others are saying here sounds about right. I am also a member of netmums and i couldnt beleive people on there saying they spend £90 a month for 4 people! having a laugh. I dont know how anyone can get away with that amount, they were saying they buy no snacks or never eat out and buy all value food. Thats not people who dont have more to spend on their families food though, its people that use the money for other things. I would rather my child ate well though

When I do the shopping, about £80-100 ($ of us but younger DD only tiny and BF). When DH does it he spends about £30, but brings nothing edible home.

About 100 for 2 adults, 1 kid and a toddler. It involves a lot of cooking from scratch.

That is one fucked up financial set up, btw, op.

Depending what we need big shop with everything is about £120 then about £80 on other weeks, this is for a family of 4 kids are 9 & 5.

About 100 for groceries/toiletries/cleaning products/nappies per week. 2 adults, 1 weaning baby, very few top-up trips (usually just for spontaneous entertaining). I cook all our food from scratch, but buy Ella's K for the baby. It used to be about 80 per week before The Cost of Living Rose. I think you getting your whole family fed for that is pretty good!
