food shopping per week?

[Mummasbigsmiles]

I'm a single mum to my 3YO daughter... And I was wondering what someone in the same position spends per week on food for yourself and a toddler? :-))

I've got 3 children we spend around £60 a week in aldi and that includes a sneaky bottle of wine

Sorry I've got a husband too so that's between 5 of us

Also an Aldi supporter right here! Also £60 a week for a family of 5!

How on earth do you spend so little?
We spend £80 and that's for 2 adults and a 1yo, but I order with Tesco. How much cheaper is aldi/lidl? As in do you just buy a lot less so it's cheaper or do you still have an abundance of food but it's much, much cheaper?

I can save £20 a week easily by shopping at aldi. Son is coeliac so I tend to do 3 weeks of aldi then one week at tesco / m and s stocking up on the bits I can't get at aldi.

Just DP and I, with 2 cats - between aldi and the butchers we spend £40 a week, maybe £45.

Aldi fruit and veg is by far cheaper than tesco and imo much fresher. I think Aldi can be cheaper because although they have almost everything you'd find in Tesco but not as many variety of brands so if you want coco pops there'll be 1 max 2 variety etc

About £80 a week in Tesco (hate Aldi) but I'm feeding 2 adults and 4 hungry children!

When I shop at tesco I'm conscious of looking at prices but when I'm in aldi I never look at the price I just throw it in the trolley I've never gone past the £70 mark yet and that's with lots alcohol in the trolley

About £50 in Aldi for 4 adult appetites, and then about £20 at the butchers ( but some of this goes to student DD to top her up with chicken and mince).Occasional extras are more milk and bread as we go along.

For me, dh, dd (11 months), a cat and a dog we spend £50-60 a week in Aldi.

There are 4 of us dh42- with a massive appetite, me 39- trying not to eat too much, Dd 9-veggie and ds 11-hollow legs. We budget £350 pcm , that includes cleaning products and some booze. I shop in Lidl, Asda, the fishmonger and butcher and meal plan obsessively. I think we eat well.

To answear OP for me and a toddler I reckon £40 p/w.

For me, Dp and toddler (plus 11 week old who has 2/3 of a tin of sma a month) we spend around £100 per week. That includes everything, cleaning products, top up shops etc. We have family gluttons around quite a lot though- probably 3 times a month and that adds up.

It's just me and two dc here and I spend between £30 and £40 in Aldi every week.

That includes wine, chocolate, naice food, meat and f&v.

Dh and I plus two dcs £35-40 a week in lidl

2 adults 4 teens and 2 under ten here and we spend between 40 and 65 a week.

Whhhhhhaaaaaatttttt?? How are you doing this Fooshuffle? x

Meal planning and no premium brands,lentils etc I buy in bulk we don't have meat everyday. I cook from scratch ( slow cooker is awesome ) I also do bulk online so not tempted to buy crappy! !

Crap not crappy! !

I tend to divvy it up between aldi, lidl and farm foods. I buy the frozen chicken breasts, drummers, chines duck and kids ice creams from farmfoods. Aldi and Lidl i buy everything else on alternate weeks. I spend between £80- £110 a week for 2 adults, two hungry teens and a primary school kidlet. That includes alcohol, loo rolls, dog food etc. Bargain! I was spending £140 a week at Asda !

Family of 5. Around £70 a week in aldi. Includes nappies, toiletries and cleaning products

1 adult and 3 hungry little boys £40 a week in Morrisons / Lidl.
They get free school lunches so that helps keep costs down.
I meal plan and cook double and freeze which helps too.

2 adults, 1 toddler, DDog and Dcat - 50-60 a week in Aldi with alcohol, cleaning things in the shop.

We have a fair bit of alcohol too

I love these threads for the disparity in them.

What are eating mummy pig to manage that?
