Swan_Vesta   11 #2 Posted August 24, 2013 £45 for a family of 3. We plan meals, waste nothing and only ever buy what we need. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
WallBuilder   10 #3 Posted August 24, 2013 Trick is to not have any shop loyalty to a particular supermarket. It may take longer but different shops can differ wildly on prices, I am now using Aldi for certain basics, Farmfood for other bits and Tesco for a few of their own items.

Moosey   10 #4 Posted August 24, 2013 £45 for a family of 3. We plan meals, waste nothing and only ever buy what we need.  Same for us. It's very rare indeed that we waste things.   Posted from Sheffieldforum.co.uk App for Android Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
ANGELFIRE1   10 #5 Posted August 24, 2013 Shopping for me and her indoors for a week - £120 minimum.  It's a bit subjective the question, as we all have differing tastes in food.  Some shop at Aldi/Lidl some shop at Tesco/Asda, that will make a difference as well.  Angel.

Uptowngirl   10 #6 Posted August 24, 2013 (edited) Trying to work out a budget for me and my other half and just wondered how much everyone usually spends on average on their food shopping.  That would depend on whether food shopping included restaurants. If I eat out a lot it cuts back on how much I have to spend in supermarkets. Edited August 24, 2013 by Uptowngirl Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Uptowngirl   10 #11 Posted August 25, 2013 Now that's what I call economising, genius  It is if he picks you up at your front door, buys you a steak and a Pinot and drops you off afterwards.  ---------- Post added 25-08-2013 at 09:41 ----------  I spend £10k per week ...

Bethsmummy   10 #12 Posted August 25, 2013 £110-£120 per week family of 4. That's including shampoos & toothpaste & washing powder too. We can sometimes stretch it out & make it last 8 or 9 days though. We'll eat out a couple of times aswell. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
