Budgeting supermarket shopping costs

[MadchesterCity]

Trying to save money at the moment and looking to try and budget our supermarket shopping

Going to try and do a weekly or every ten day Home delivery and just shop local for milk, bread and fresh fruit and veg.
Ideally £40 to £50 for the online shop so no delivery charges.

Anyone switched more to homemade delivery and do you think it helps save money?
I'm a bit of an impulse buyer so end up with much more than needed when we go for a whir round supermarket.
How much do you budget a month for your shopping?
Any tips to make the pounds go a little further for food shopping?

TIA

Waitrose if you spend £60
Most have cheap £1 deliveries if you’re not fussed about time.

I always shop online now for major items and just go to the local corner shop for fresh produce.

Budget is roughly £100 per week for the online shop.

You can get delivery saver with tesco but getting a slot is more difficult , morrisons are the lowest i have found and easy to gets lots , they often dont have what you want but the subs are very close to it

Or you could try aldi and lidl and curb your buying things you dont need

100% agree with you that if you do online you’ll not add shit you don’t need to your trolley. Only thing I don’t like is they don’t check the shit they put in your order is long dated like you or I would.

Tips for saving? depends what you like to eat mate. I think you can live well and cheaply if you’re prepared to cook.

Why would someone want to have home delivery?
You’ll save a hell of a lot more if you go by yourself, walk around the shop choosing items carefully. Remember make sure to get what you need for the month. Don’t be shy on filling the trolley as it’ll be a while until you return.
On the way to the checkouts, take a detour via the exit doors and save yourself a fortune!

Lidl give a rebate of £2 if you spend £100 in a month.
And another £10 if you spend £200 in a month.
But they won't give the rebate off any alcohol that you purchase.
