How much do you spend on a weekly food shop?

I have just done my online weekly food shop for this coming week, but just curious as to what others spend on theirs? We are a family of 4- 2 adults and 2 children, toddler and 9 month old baby.
We usually spend between £50-£75 on ours, and shop at Tesco. This week I had to buy laundry capsules, dettol for the work tops and some bleach, so those aren’t things I buy every week.
Wondering if we could get it cheaper though?Hmm

£80 p/w give or take, 3 adult appetites plus two cats. I have the Tesco delivery saver which is £6 p/m for as many deliveries as I need, and I top up in Morrison’s. I could probably spend a bit less if I needed to.

We average at £150 a week family of 5. The 3 dc are 12, 10 & 7. I must be going incredibly wrong somewhere tho and people on here say they spent £50-60 a week on a family of 5!

There's 5 of us, 2 adults and 3 kids aged 5 and under. On a good week I'll stay below £90 but on a bad week it can be up to £130. That includes nappies and wipes, toiletries and most breakfast, lunch, dinners and snacks for everyone. Just top-up bread and milk in the week.

I shop mostly online at Tesco for convenience. We also have a Lidl nearby but I find it almost as expensive as Tesco. My bill would be a lot cheaper if I shopped at Aldi but the quality of the fresh stuff in our local aldi isn't great and they only last a few days. Plus I'd still have to go elsewhere for washing powder etc.

Not sure how the hell other people manage to do it for £50/£60 p/w, unless they eat mostly lentils.

If I am sensible with snacks and dont buy any booze, then around £100 per week. 2 adults and 3 kids.

I try to get the expensive things in bulk the first shop after payday, things like loo roll and washing powder. Then for the rest of the month I only usually need to get food.
