May help if you shop at Tesco...

Do my menu plan for the weekplan, work out what I need. Go online and check out all the offers and then put in what I need online. Then I copy the pages into Word and then print off. The groceries are all sorted in each department so you get round the store quicker. We walk everywhere so it does save us money and time, rather than spending £6 on a delivery. Certainly keeps me to my £35 a week food budget.

    You can use MySupermarket to do the same thing.
    Do your 'shop' and then print out the (sorted) list, without buying anything online.

    Hiya, my shopping on line cost £4.50 for them to do my shopping and deliver. I used a FREE code worth £10 so they payed me £5.50 for the privilege which was appreciated in all that snow.
    If winter comes, can spring be far behind?
    Spring begins on 21st March.

    The budget I have is for 1 adult and 2 boys with hearty appetites, they eat adult sized portions and more, aged 8 and 10. I have been working things out and since the start of the year my groceries are working out at around £29 a week. I've been getting whoopsies at M&S, I do that once a week and freeze the things I get.

    I used to just do a bit of shopping every day, bits and pieces but would spend £10 plus each time, this is a lot better for me.

    I know what you're saying. I just prefer doing my shopping myself, so I can pick things with best date, unbruised fruits, no substitutes etc.
