I’m always thinking of ways to cut cost and I can manage around £70 the least if I cut bk and think of meal ideas that don’t cost a lot like rice and sweet potatoes as carbs and make snacks with oats and fruit, and sometimes I get in Iceland the 2 for £15 fish packs salmon and cod and that goes along way then juts ad shout fruit and veg and carbs x
We spend £100 a week for 3 of us. So totally feel you on that one 🥲😬
@Rachel that’s good for 3 people where are you shopping?
About £80 for me, partner, 2 daughters and a cat
About £110 each week for me, my husband and our son. We shop at aldi and get anything we can't find from another supermarket. It's the top up shop that ends up costing me loads each week. I normally only need one or two things but then end up wasting my money on things I didn't go in for 🤦♀️ I went to Asda yesterday to get strawberries and spent £62.50 💀
We spend around £60/80 a week for 2 adults and 1 toddler. Worth noting my daughter is in nursery 5 days a week and gets 3 meals a day so I only need snacks and meals for her on the weekend.
@Hester where do you shop? X
About £120, sometimes more! X
@HL Aldi, then one of the big supermarkets for anything else. We meal plan lunches and dinners, try to plan around what we already have in the freezer/cupboard or plan multiple meals that need similar ingredients.
I just got a few bits in to keep us going till the 15th just br and snacks packed lunch bits cost £200 it doesn't normally come to that much think things have gone up again x
@Samantha we did shop at Tesco but we just changed to Asda as we found it a bit cheaper. But we're vegan, so we buy a lot of pulses/beans etc and lots of fruit and veg. Some meat substitutes which brings the price up a little but usually oat milk etc works out cheaper than regular milk and obviously not paying the price of meat, dairy etc 😊
Usually £80-100, with one top up shop during the week which always ends up being £20-30. I do the main food shop at Aldi but I don't find Tesco that much more expensive if I'm organised on what I'm getting but I rarely am 😅
Yep around £100 for 3 of us. I used to get it for £70-80, it’s just gone up so much!
@Rachel I guess mine can be expensive because I do buy a lot of veg and fruit for my son, with beef on a Sunday which can be costly. We eat quite healthy, I don’t feel so bad about spending that much really as we are eating well. I can get away with spending £80 but have to meal plan ahead. I find Tesco is so expensive but good choices there x

Things are so expensive now, it’s me my partner and my daughter. Anywhere between £80-100 I can spend weekly and I shop at Asda, if I shopped at Tesco it would be more. Asda has roll back at the moment too though xx
