What's new? Ours isn't far from a hundred each week.
In reality, if I bought store brand stuff, I'm confident I could feed our family of 3 for around £20 for the week if needed. Not gonna deny they'd be shite meals tho

Did you realt just spell "cut" with a "k"?
You then wonder why you can't budget?

We spend about £80-100 a week at Asda for me, wife and our 2 year old. And we usually end up nipping to Co-Op down road midweek too.

When I lived at home there wad 6 of us, bill used to be about 250 every two weeks plus odd bits in between but we used to waste so much etc and she would always buy new things to try that were a rip off. When I moved in with my ex we use to spend about 200 a month and that included beer and bits of cral

I've been round Aldi and Lidl to see what it was all about and didn't find it any cheaper tbh Doubt you'll save Jeddy if you're already getting 10% off.

our shopping comes in at around £80-100 every other week.
usually spend another tenner or so during the week so probably £60 a week for 2 of us which isn't that bad.
we don't buy shit either, proper meals.

We probably spend at least £100/week on shopping - 2x adults and 2x greyhounds...
We've started shopping more at Sainsbury's these days as we've found the stuff we normally get from Asda isn't that cheap any more - plus Sainsbury's do nice bread and more choice for vegetarians too.

Bollocks, if your buying chocolate, crisps etc then its going to be more expensive.

For the 2 of us we spend (a week):
£15 on fruit/veg from the Saturday market
£20 on meat from the butchers
£5 keeping the stock cupboard (paprika, seeds, soy sauces, stock cubes etc) up to date
£5 cereal
£5 on milk
£2 if that on shite like chocolate/biscuits, we literally have nothing bad for you in any of our cupboards
£5 on frozen stuff like onion rings
I home cook everything and have started taking soup to work for lunch etc
You aren't trying hard enough is basically what I'm saying
