Oh dear, there's five of us and it's roughly our daily allowance (depends how much of it is cooked from scratch). I can actually feel the price increase. A couple of years ago I'd spend £120-200 and have enough food to go through the week which is impossible now.
We save more when shopping in our local Turkish supermarket (TFC) where fruit and veg are very cheap. The worst are ready made meals from Tesco or Asda - they're unhealthy and expensive, but sometimes a must if you have a family to feed and no time on your hands.
I envy all those middle class families from leafy Ealing (ha ha! yeah, right) who can dailycook fancy elaborated organic meals, but here's Tesco Finest on a well... finest day. Shopping in Sainsbury's is a treat for me and Waitrose only when I feel suicidal.
Organic meals don't have to be fancy or elaborated .
There is very little price difference between S/burys and Tescos.
