how much do you spend on your food shopping...

we tend to shop usually either tesco (mainly as close) and sometimes (asda) which i find much cheaper but not as close and certain products the quality is very poor (too disgusting to eat sometimes or we have to mix in with other things!!) i find our food bills are enormous and just wonder how much people spend. i tend to make everything from scratch too.

    around £80 all in. we get it delivered, so there's less money spent on non-essentials
    Remember the time he ate my goldfish? And you lied and said I never had goldfish. Then why did I have the bowl Bart? Why did I have the bowl?

    Hi Deals,

    This thread on the Old Style board should help you to see what others are spending:

    June 2008 Grocery Challenge

    It's also worth reading Martin's article on Supermarket Shopping which has lots of tips on saving money on groceries.

    Good luck with cutting back.

    sainsburys. better than the others (waitrose is the exception) stops me buying loads of cr*p food too. very handy, you get deliveries within an hour period (no waiting in all day), and the drivers are v.good, literally getting it all to the front door.
