Food Shopping & Groceries

A question about : Keep Overspending on food

Me and OH live together with no children or pets, I tried to set a monthly food shop budget of Ј200 but we constantly exceed this. I notice from looking back it is often about Ј300 per month and it doesn't feel like we've had luxuries.

We both work full time so I have to admit the food shop is mostly done at nearest supermarket for convenience (Sainsburys). Also I'm trying to follow slimming world so buying lots more fruits than usual.

I low carb and went organic in March. My husband doesn't low carb but is enthusiastic about organic. We've been trying lots of things so if you've been wondering whether organic tastes any better here are some reviews.

A question about : Home Delivery Questions

I am moving house soon and will no longer have the convenience of having a supermarket within walking distance, so I am looking into the possibility of using the home delivery service. If you could answer a couple of questions for me that'd be great, as my searches seem to be throwing up contradictory information. From what I know, there is an Asda, Tesco and Sainbury's within delivery range.

1. I know that products will occasionally be substituted, but do you get charged the difference in price?

A question about : Does this seem reasonable? (Budget)

Been reading this forum for a while and finally decided to sign up and join in so here goes nothing...

I am trying to lower our food budget as much as possible without compromising on health or taste, for the 2 of us, 1 athlete and 1 with extra calorie needs I have spent Ј45 without meat/fish, expect with to be a max of Ј25-30, though hoping it won't be that high. So around Ј70-80 for one week, just food.

A question about : Philidelphia CHOCLATE Spread? Worth Getting?

I notice that the full range o Philidelphia soft cheese spreads are being reduced to 84p in Tesco.

This includes the Chocolate one. Is it worth getting? Is it actually cheese or more of a chocloate spread that you can put on toast etc?

Please advise.
