what is your weekly food spends??

Yes, you do. The Tesco clubcard sends you coupons based on your past purchases. Since what we mostly buy is fresh fruit and veg, that is what we get coupons for - apples and asparagus. And rum & Dvd's.

Huh. That's good.  But I'm just not gonna let them track my shopping habits. I've read somewhere about the long-term plans they have for the use of these details and it really put me off. I'll see if I can find the article.

I know what you mean ...it's only 3 people and yet by wensday the fridge is empty...the bread , cheese, milk ..gone . Hubs will eat a box of cereal on his own if you let him...I've tried to put the reins on it but never works. Anyone managed to figure out a cut back on weekly spends??

Stop buying biscuits, or only buy really, really boring ones. That seemed to reduce our spend by £££s!

that's the thing I buy no: biscuits , snacks of any kind. The consume bread (having sandwiches throughout the day- Marmite & cheese , Cheese & pickle , Jam & cheese) consume all the juice and cereal. I buy fruit and veg but that doesn't get eaten as quickly unless it's strawberries....

Usually hovering around the £80 mark.  We don't go every week though.  We seem to go three weeks and then miss a week.  Ways to save money, is to take advantage of the deals and plan your meals around them.  Make a list and stick to it.  Don't buy lots of snacks and impulse buys.  And the biggest way we cut down on spending was not to waste food-keep and eye on sell by/use by dates, plan your menus in advance and stick to it, know what your schedules going to be like so you don't buy food you don't need.
