weekly shop for family of 5? how much?  (4 Posts) frazzled74 Tue
23-Oct-12 10:07:53  at the moment my shopping is chaotic, a bit
of online tesco and ocado, daily trips to aldi and asda etc. I
would like to be more organised and do a weekly online shop
except bread and milk, how much would be a resonable amount to
budget for 2 adults ,1 teenager and a 9 and 7 year old including
packed lunches. I want to cut down spending but not be
completely frugal.  mum23girlys Tue 23-Oct-12 11:49:37  Hi
frazzled. We're also a family of 5. 4 of whom never stop eating.
Older girls and dh all take packed lunches and dd3 and I eat all
our meals at home. I find it's the snacks and fruit that really
add up. I've recently tried to reign in the spending as well. I
looked at my bank statement a few months ago and it was every
other day £50 at ASDA. I have since started meal planning. I do
this on a fortnightly basis and do an Asda shop of the bits I
can't get at Aldi. I write the fortnights meals out and stick
them to the fridge so
