Going on from this thread:

Let us know how many mouths that amount feeds. If you do monthly shops, divide it by 4.

Post by: Kerrse on 02 February 2012, 15:39
About £80 is a week, hard to work out as we don't shop weekly but thats rough estimate.

2 Adults no kids or pets  :cool:

I'll do a big shop one week of about £40, a lot of that stuff will last 2/3 weeks.

The following week I'll do a smaller shop to replace the perishables etc, that'll be around £20-£30.

I spend about £100 a month feeding just myself.

I'm away 4 days a week as well.
That's shopping at ALDI, so it's as cheap as you can get..

I reckon we spend on average a month

£150 a month in Tesco's for basics

£100 a month in the local Butchers

plus possibly another £80-150 a month on fresh food from various shops/markets

Im not having it! £30 per week! clearly you dont do the shopping :shocked:

We do about £130 a week, thats a main shop, and maybe one or two trips back during the week, plus we eat out usually a couple of times a week, so by the time weve done fuel and food at Sainsbury's I would say well over £200 a week is an honest figure, and thats pretty much for 3 of us these days

however my mum and dad pay around £150 a week for 4 of us (mam works at morrisons so we get discount ;) )

There is no way anyone could live round my area for 20 quid a week.
For example, even buying a loaf of bread and some milk will cost £3.50...
£15 a week for one adult , all i will say is  :grin:
Title: Re: Weekly shop
Post by: dTEA on 02 February 2012, 18:02
Varies between 60-120 dependant on all the washing powder lunchbox stuff for kids etc. 2 adults 2 kids(one  tiddler still) 1 dog and she gets James Wellbeloved food...less crp and less crp to pick up!!! And a cat.

Plus we eat fresh fruit and veg everyday plus meats.  

4 chicken fillets £5+ = 2 meals max

The rest of you under £80 are eating carb central or frozen veg....frozen peppers are Minging, sweetcorn tastes funny, never seen mange tout or sugar snap peas frozen...mushrooms :sick:

Post by: Roverdose on 02 February 2012, 18:16
Not by choice, we're down to £60 for 2 adults a 2 kids, includes nappies and milk powder as the baby doesnt care for titty juice. I work full time and my missus got made redundant just before she was eligable for their maternity allowance, convenient i thought.

Our's varies from £80-100 ish, depends on what we're buying that week.
2 adults and 2 little kids.
I take a packed lunch to work everyday, wife and kids eat at home every day.
It's the expensive stuff like nappies, baby wipes, cleaning products, fresh fruit, fresh meat, etc that puts our bill up.
We buy the cheaper Pampers nappies, but they're still a little more expensive.
It's also put up by our tastes, we only buy PG Tips tea bags (don't like other brands), never buy cheap bread (so end up buying Hovis for £1.20 per loaf), Douwe Egberts Instant Coffee (nicer that other brands), only ever buy Heinz beans and McCain chips.
So stuff we're less fussy about; tinned tomatoes (cheapest own brand), orange juice (Tesco value), etc.

We use our tesco clubcard a lot and get decent money off vouchers.

It's also usually cheaper if I go on my own, then the wife doesn't have a chance to pick up stuff from the clothing section  :grin:
Title: Re: Weekly shop
Post by: T_J_G on 03 February 2012, 06:49
£30 a week if I do it, £40 if she does it, £50 if we both go.

And a takeaway once a week which is normally less than £10
Title: Re: Weekly shop
Post by: Jay on 03 February 2012, 07:21
80-100

2 adults, 3 kids, about 70-80 a week with Tesco online and whatever else she's forgot/fancied from Waitrose. That does include non-food stuff.
Title: Re: Weekly shop
Post by: dubber36 on 03 February 2012, 08:18
£70-£80 a week inc delivery from Asda plus the odd extra loaf and milk from the local shop if we run out. That's for 2 adults, 2 kids (6+8) and a cat.

I rarely eat out if I'm away from home at lunch time, I'll take sandwiches. I figure that I've paid once to fill the cupboards at home, I'm not paying again to buy more stuff when I'm out.
