Mine includes other household expenses including the cat LOL.
We used to eat decently, but not a lot of red meat, occasionally fish and a lot of chicken. Farm foods all the way LOL. Although aldi frozen chicken is slightly cheaper and you get slightly more in teh pack...but I am not convinced it tastes nicer. will go back to farm foods for it when finances change. a lot of food we had would be things like crispy chicken pieces, fish fingers, pies etc. They still have all that and just occasionally I might let them have some of my beef!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I portion freeze to becca, its much easier that way. I've done that with the mince too. I buy aldi's bigger pack and split it into 4 portions. I did once, and prob will do again, use the portion to make pattties and meatballs in different flavours and then froze them. Was a big cooking day that day LOL.
With toiletries, cat and cleaning I probably spend about £30-£40 so the rest is food....for 3 of us.
Its difficult sometimes because I want us all to eat healthily and whilst my daughter would probably eat most of wht I am eating, hubby won't. My food bill has gone up in some areas and down in others. Bread, crisps, sweets, starch, sugars.....all less a month because I don't use, but meats and chicken, all more a month obviously. Oh and eggs. I used to buy maybe 15 a month, now I can go through 15-20 a week!!!
