Re: Monthly Shopping Bill

Comparing supermarket shopping bills is rather meaningless as it takes no account of meals out and takeaways. Also some people buy everything from the supermarket including many non-food items whilst others only buy non-perishable foodstuffs at the supermarket.

Thats strange, When i go, it takes half the time to get round but the bill still doubles.

So your not tempted by the things you havent seen before and all the goodies in the chocolate and alcohol aisles. Me thinks you should have a new id "Long Pockets"

But when I go (as compared to me and the missus) it takes twice the time but costs half the price

Re: Monthly Shopping Bill

As a family, (2 parents, 3 children) About 800-1000/month
No idea how much you'd need to add for lunches out, etc

Re: Monthly Shopping Bill

I have a family of 5 so I have shares in Asda with what I spend there.

Tesco's certainly won't be getting 1in 3 of my £'s.
I can't stand the poor quality of the food.

Er indoors goes there occasionally but not usually for thier own brand foods.

Re: Monthly Shopping Bill

When me and Mrs Nug do the monthly shop, it normally costs between somewhere between £120 and £180 (having said that, £180 only really happens when we happen to see a couple of DVDs that we want )

That will last us for the full month (including cat food, in case we run out of real food ), but things like bread and milk will add about an extra 20 - 30 quid a month, so it's probably more like 150 - 200 in total.

Mind you, if I add the beer onto that, I think I'll need a second mortgage so I'm not counting that
