We always take a list to the supermarket and do try to stick to it. However, if there are any special offers that are genuinely good buys we will tend to stock up. £70+ at the supermarket sounds about right really to be honest.

We visit a proper butcher once a month to six weeks. What we buy depends on what's on offer and we have a wet fish man that would come weekly but we don't have an order that often.

I do a big shop once a week between £40/£70Thursday usually) and then buy fresh bread and salads on Sat maybe £15 that’s it.

I am horrified to see I spent £70.00 on very little over the weekend.

My system is to use what I have rather than constantly buying. But as soon as I broke free, I ended up over spending.
Or perhaps that's just life?
