[QUOTE="Scouse eater, post: 8195008, member: 144683"] Shop mainly in Home Bargain, Aldi, Asda and Morrisons. Veg and meat is mainly Asda and Home Bargain. Delamere goats butter from Morrisons. Cheese from Home Bargain. Have a list and a rough idea of price of everything in my head from previous week (sad, old bookeeper type!) and buy from whoever is cheapest. We're 'eaters' not farmers but we've got a 100' garden. Keep a few hens and sell some eggs each week an money goes towards feed costs. Keep some bees too. Grow some veg, mainly spuds, carrots, onions, garlics, peas and tomatoes. We've a couple of apple trees, and grow raspberries and strawbs. Make jams and juices and bottle tomatoes and beetroot. Grow some herbs. Our Sunday joint usually covers a stir fry on monday and a curry on tuesday most weeks. Half a leg of lamb was £8 ish last year but its now about £11 and a medium chicken was £3.25, now £3.90. Average weekly shop last year (not just food) cost £70, but that has gone up this year.
