Weekly shop here is about £150. Far too expensive, and hubby keeps saying I need to try and get it to be cheaper. Suppose I do, but I like my food!

Fcuk me, what are you buying for that! :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

A lot

I'm not sure how it all adds up to be honest, each individual thing isn't that expensive.

OH is a on a very high protein diet, so there is a lot of chicken and meat.

And a lot of chocolate

Next shop will be on Monday, and I'm under strict instructions to get it cheaper, so I'll let you know how I get on!

I manage to feed a family of 4 on £50.00 a week and am very impressed with myself!!

Who do you shop with?
I am going to have to rethink our shopping budget, we really cant shop on the measly £30 I am used to lol
I find that I end up going up the local shops for more stuff and end up spending more!
So I should be able to go a whole week without doing that!

I do a big shop in asda and get top ups and meat from tesco and the occasional top up from netto coz it's nearer (I've even walked the less than 1/2 a mile to netto or tesco a few times _pale_) I am sooo lazy but in my defense I live at the top of a steep hill so walking to netto/tesco is fine but back up the hill with added shopping kills me!

Yes, I've played on bingoport for a long time - managed to pay for a load of Christmas presents that way and am currently saving up for baby stuff hopefully cotbed.

feelie I far too frequently spend £200 in a week on 'nothing' its most definitely my downfall MSE-wise!!

AM - read this and thought how has she got away with that! Nearly choked on my chocolate!

ASDA's own chocolate Feelie - it's not too bad you know, 2 x 200g bars for £1.54. Wouldn't it be cheaper for your OH to get protein shakes or powder to make shakes if he wants high protein? My OH does this - he was a skinny minny at 17 but a few yearsafter bulking up on these shakes and going to the gym he's an Adonis! He's kept it up as well

Somethings I will buy own brand - I buy Smartprice tinned tomatoes and kidney beans for chillis and mexican chicken dish but can't eat Smartprice beans. I'll eat ASDA brand beans though - the only thing I don't and can't scimp on is meat. I have to have steak mince and nice chicken breasts.

I always buy things when they are on offer and they go in the chest freezer in the garage, I do buy birds eye chicken breasts and have them with rice which is an easy meal for me when OH not hungry.

My weekly shop has been over £150 recently (2 Adults and a dog!)
In my defense though, we have a new MASSIVE Tesco opened near us that sells everything. So I have been buying Baby stuff, books, computer games, electiricals etc. with my weekly shop, rather than going seperately to the shopping Mall. My usual weekly shop is still around £80-£100 though.

OMG!!! New thread!!!

Will catch up later but just wanted to post to say have got my test results back after the nuchal translucency and triple test...

Have come back with a much lower adjusted risk (after the tests) than the background risk (due to age). Am under 1:4000 for Down's, which is reassuring. The baby's a little small (on 5% line) but the report doesn't comment on this, guess we'll pick that up with the midwife.
