Seeing that most all UK-DIY'ites are sensible practical people I was
wondering if anyone would like to comment on this..

How much of your hard earn't are you spending at the supermarket these
days?. I've just had a run in with SWMBO re this over the last few weeks
and to my mind it seems to be a bl^^dy small fortune so I'd just like to
canvass some opinions. Say a family of Four, 2 adults and a couple of
teenage children.

Living in the ever so effluent sarff to include grub, excluding eating
out, and all things like washing up stuff, bog paper cleaning stuffs all
those things that are needed to run the home excluding fuel costs,
amounts per month please if you don't mind

Of course those who don't quite fit that spec are welcome to comment...


Difficult to tell, but average about £60-£70 per month for a family that
fits that spec (hungry teenage boys). Mostly at Ocado.

However, we also spend about £100 a month at Costco on bulk stuff (every
3 months I visit them and stock up). 72 loo rolls, 48 kitchen rolls, 24
litres of orange juice, etc.
