I spend about ￡120 a week on two adults and a seven year old!. I go twice a week and shop at mainly Tesco and Sainsburys!.!.!.!. have tried Morrisons and Asda but I don't like it!
I buy a few organic things here and there but not much (milk, ketchup, carrots, tomato puree) and you wouldn't believe how much the cost of them ranges between shops!. Tesco Organic Tomato Puree: 49p!. Morrisons: 87p!!
Its also ridiculous how much things have gone up recently!!!Www@FoodAQ@Com

My average weekly food bill is about $150, but I am feeding 2 cats, two dozen mice, two dozen squirrels, and all the wild birds in my area!. The food for the squirrels runs about $25 a week, and the litter for my pet mice is $12 a week!. Bird seed is about $12 for a 40# bag which lasts only 4 days!. I tend to use a lot of paper products like Paper Towels around the house, because my washer/dryer is broken!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
2 Adults ￡70/80 buy fresh where I can!. Started growing own veg so this will reduce towards end of summer or perhaps it won't as I shall be bottling and freezing so I'll need money for containers and kilner jars!.
I shop around Lidle, Tesco's, Morrison's sometimes M&S and the farmers market!. Don't like Asda very disappointed at the quality of food though Morrison's is not much better!.
I have started buying the supermarket's own middle of range foods and find that Tesco's do have quality own brand foods!. However, I would never buy dairy products or meats from either Lidle or Asda!.!.!.no way!. And I always buy free range where I can!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Not very much!. We have a nice restaurant down the block and we go shopping there at nite in their dumpster!. One of us pops in to read the menu so we can "plan our meals"!. After seeing their "specials" of the day we then know what to expect later!. We've found whole cooked roasts, chickens and a wide variety of pastas, salads etc!. We slice the roasts and chicken up and freeze it for another day!.
Everyone just loves our gourmet meals and candle light suppers!.
Tonites menu is Chicken Cattachatorri, Veal Parmesan, Strawberry Shortcake and a tossed green salad and Scalloped Potato's!.
We have company coming tonite, about 12 people, so we have to get down there early so everything is ready when they arrive!.
We'll buy some refreshments on the way back!.
He he he!.!.!.!.good story eh!.!.!.!.!.
hope you found it interestingWww@FoodAQ@Com
