    I normally do a weekly shop, check online for the offers before I go and plan my week's meals according to those.

    Can I ask which online sites you use?
  • Somewhere between £70 and £100 a week on average I'd say (that's for 2 adults and 1 toddler). More if we have people round for a meal. That's just food.

    I buy cleaning stuff in bulk and do a trip to one of the designer outlets for Molton Brown toiletries once or twice a year.

    We don't have any financial issues though.

    OP - shouldn't your spend tally with what you told the official receiver you would spend?
    Science adjusts its views based on what's observed.
    Faith is the denial of observation, so that belief can be preserved.

    Would that figure include 2 cans of Boddingtons?
    As long as you're keeping the cost down to 75p a can or less!

    Buy in bulk once every couple of months.
