What's your weekly grocery Bill

Rimmy · 13-08-2020 2:49pm #1

I spend on average 65 euro just for myself.

Just wondering what yours is and how many people you feed.

corsav6 · 13-08-2020 2:53pm

2 adults and 3 kids under 7. Average in total between the weekly big shop and picking up bits in between we'd spend €200.

Queasy Tadpole · 13-08-2020 3:00pm

Usually €100 without alcohol for the two of us.

Undertow · 13-08-2020 3:04pm

On average €100 a week for one. Probably a bit much but I love to cook, bake and get good quality meat!

Nothing surprises me now · 13-08-2020 3:08pm

Between 100 to 115 per week for 2 of us.

Just checked the pretty cool records and charts that the AIB website give you on your spending habits.

Seem we're averaging €1,100 a month on groceries (2 adults, 3 kids between 7 and 11). That's about €224 a week.

Cheers Gregor, I didn’t know about that

gibgodsman · 13-08-2020 3:38pm

80-100 per week for 2 of us, depends if we get more meat or not

ozbackineire · 13-08-2020 3:38pm

Approx €70 for 2. Shop in Aldi and get meat in butchers

SVI40 · 13-08-2020 3:59pm

3 adults in the house, circa €60.00 per week.

How?!

13-08-2020 4:45pm

Spend about 80 once a week on a shop for the two of us and then we spend about 100 between us during the week.

Lies, absolutely no way this is possible unless none of you use the home to eat in

Sgt Hartman · 13-08-2020 4:56pm

Approximately €100 a week for 2 of us without booze. We take turns each week paying for it.

miezekatze · 13-08-2020 4:58pm

Usually 100-150 a week for the 2 of us.

Cushtie · 13-08-2020 4:59pm

Approx 120 per week. 2 adults 2 children. That's the main shop. Will pick up a few bits n pieces during the week aswell. Maybe 20 worth.

Usually would have 1 take away at the Weekend aswell.

No it's perfectly possible I only spent around €20 on food the secret is to eat a vegetarian diet and only buy supermarket own brand products.

SusanC10 · 13-08-2020 5:05pm

At the moment in our current times between €130 - €150 per week.
2 Adults, 1 Teen, 1 Child.
Shop once a week with Tesco delivered.
Sometimes includes alcohol, sometimes not as tend to buy our favourites on special offer.
We also spend between €25 - €40 per week at the Butcher also once a week but mostly 3 weeks out of every 4.
So in total between €155-€190 depending on the week but the higher end of that would be rare.
No top up shops.
No Take Aways or eating out.

TM2015 · 13-08-2020 5:06pm

The weekly shop is around 180 euro, split between Tesco, SuperValu and Marks and Spencer. For 2 adults and a young child. It covers us for 3 meals for 5 to 6 days. On Saturdays and Sundays we usually eat out.

Wibbs · 13-08-2020 5:08pm

About 30-40 quid for one. Not a big eater though so there's that. Like Clear Air Turbulence notes veggies are cheap, as are eggs, things like porridge, even meat is pretty cheap these days. I don't drink soft drinks and tea is cheap. Once a month I might have a takeaway of a bag of chips, but that's about it. Avoid the prepackaged stuff and eating like a horse and eating is pretty damned cheap these days. I do like my red wine which adds to the total, but that's two or three bottles a week so..

krissovo · 13-08-2020 5:09pm

Even using Aldi for a large part of the weekly shop were at 300/350 a week for 2 adults and 2 children. If I add 1 take away and alcohol its not good reading.

andekwarhola · 13-08-2020 5:21pm

2 adults, 2 young kids. Probably about 100-150 a week basic supermarket. That doesn't include stuff like alcohol or butchers plus we don't buy stuff like soft drinks, juice, confectionery, biscuits; pre-made foods or sauces, and we bake most of our stuff like breads, scones etc. Wife is a veggie also but other 3 of us eat meat 3-4 times a week.

40 quid with meat and a few bottles of wine... would you jog on. Post up your latest receipt there... you must be eating tiny amounts of calories.

/Supermarket off

/Trolleys at dawn etc.

bitofabind · 13-08-2020 5:38pm

Usually about £60 - £70 for little old me. Maybe a take-away once every other week. Big fan of M&S and because I'm shopping for one I don't mind paying that bit more for stuff that I really really like.

Church on Tuesday · 13-08-2020 5:59pm

€55.32 cent.

13-08-2020 6:23pm

Looking at the receipts it's always booze and meat that are the big ticket items.

Cut them out and you could save a fortune.

And be a miserable git.

quickbeam · 13-08-2020 6:27pm

Less than €35 a week for one.
