Weekly food shop

[cam_low]

Ok so tomorrow evening I more than likely have to ensure a trip to the supermarket.

It seems to be working out that I get around ten pounds of goods per bag. The price of everything just seems ridiculous, where are the bargains? Most 'offers' are adjoined to two for two pounds saving 30p or something similar.

how much are you averaging on your weekly shop? Do you grow your own? I barely find time to do the weekly shop never mind hunt out bargains. Between food, rent and fuel it's getting harder and harder to live, how are people doing coping?

Feeding a family of 3 for around £55 a week at the moment. Don't shop at the big 4, try lidl, better quality and cheaper. Less choice but that stops impulse buying.

It's only me and the other half so the shop is'nt major but if your've gots kids that must be expensive, rent and fuel it's never ending.

I dont find Lidl and Aldi that good myself. I tend to buy the same stuff week in week out and get to know where to buy one thing and where to buy another. The local high street has Lidl, Tesco express and Spar within 20 yds of each other so its easy.

I used to work in a supermarket so avoid them like the plague, I'm told I spend about £80 a week on shopping though, lol!

Don't buy cleaning stuff, shampoo etc every week but on average I reckon it accounts for no more than 3 quid a week. We still have to buy nappies too. Lots of fresh fruit, veg and meat. I have salads every day. We do a lot of home baking now to avoid spending on sweet treats and even make own bread. Mr grr wants a veg patch.
