Not such a fat kat now :)
Just out of interest How much do you spend on food? Ive planned menus and bought only what we need for years ,originally in an effort to cut costs but in the last 12 months to make sure I was doing SW meals.
Ive noticed though in the last 4 -5 months my food bill has crept up bit by bit so that Im now paying around £40 more per fortnight than I used to. Ive put this down mainly meat going up but everything else as well.
Im cooking for 5, 2 adults, 3 children but the children are 17,16,11 so adults really.
I spend now £160 per fortnight rather than the £120 it used to cost me. (I do a 2 week shop at a time) with extra milk and bread locally.
I shop mainly at ASDA if Im working but I have tried other places, particularly LIDL and ALDI. Sometimes theyre cheaper, sometimes not. It all depends who has what offers on.
I cook from scratch, no ready meals or sauces in jars.
Would be interested to know how this compares with you all and if you have any tips for lowering it.
