How much do you spend....?

You probably won't need as much next time, so it's swings and roundabouts?
For two of us I will spend anything between £45 - £80 on an on-line shop and might pop out for bits in between.

Most weeks I spend £30/40 on a shop that’s just for me, then probably once a month I’ll replenish my store cupboard and spend double that. I am cutting down on meat and desserts at the moment though.

Surely if you add on prosecco, expensive honey and a plant to your shopping list then you should expect it to cost a lot more than usual !

Hopefully your loo rolls and biscuits will last you a long time. Note for next time - stick to the shopping list.

DH went for a top-up shop this morning and said "they've got some lovely orchids for a fiver".
I asked him if he'd bought one or two and he said "No, did you want me to?"

Well, yes .....

I went there today just for some cheese I particularly like. Came out with a cycling top, I do not cycle but it looked warm, fancy chocolate, storage containers, motion light, slipper socks and chutney. Forgot the cheese.

We spend more on food than I would like, for the two of us. We have a fortnightly supermarket delivery for heavy items, costs between £60-100. Monthly order from the independent butcher, about £30, weekly buys from Co-op about £8, greengrocery about £8, then twice a week to Aldi for milk and other top ups, usually £8 but can be up to £20 occasionally. I make that around £320 a month, which I think is too much. It is a mixture of cheap stuff and top quality stuff eg meat. We do keep a good stock of non- perishables, so we are not actually consuming all we buy each month, so I guess it works out. But when I think what people on benefits have to manage on,….

I keep thinking about the orchids DH didn't buy.
He said they were lovely!

Am I the only one to get annoyed at bad grammar ?

Don’t send him again Calistemon....who knows what he may not buy next time!?

A typical Lidl shop then!

We still seem to have a full store cupboard from the lockdowns...I really should check the dates on things.
kircubbin as long as you can afford the little extras, then just enjoy them.?

For those of you who haven’t seen it already, the Ballad of Lidl and Aldi might give you a laugh.

'How much do you spend?' - on what exactly - and how often?

I suppose some folks still do a weekly supermarket shop but I (like a lot of people) get most things delivered. I have no idea how much it averages out at, as I buy from various places, as and when.

As long as i understand what`s been written, grammar really doesn`t bother me grannylyn65.

I spend between £60-£80 per week.
Shop mostly in sainsburys and top up in Aldi.

Eh ? Hate comments like this, not least because I then spend a silly amount of time going back through everyone's posts trying to spot it ! Does it really matter ?

I've noticed that all food has increased in price, I'm going to start checking out the yellow stickered times at Morrisons. My dog's special treat biscuits at PAH have gone up from £2.79 to £3.19 this week.

It is not kind to mention grammar mistakes on here. The gran who made the mistake will be upset and may not want to post again.

Weekly supermarket delivery for two, about £60, top up during the week, about £15.

Absolutely not you are 100% right I grovel with desperation

Am I the only one to get annoyed at bad grammar

Possibly not but most people are too polite and well mannered to mention it.

Where is the bad grammar?

Thank you for the link grannynannywanny.
I’m not going to disclose what I spend on anything!
