As title... I'm struggling a bit to decide which is best for DH and I, obviously there's just the two of us but we also have 3 dogs at home and their food costs a fair bit too so all adds up.
When I first married DH, we did the food shop monthly and spent between £160-£180 a month on food, sometimes £200. About 3 months ago, we decided to shop weekly instead and somehow, that ends up costing us between £50 and £80 per week.
I try and plan dinners to make it easier but sometimes we end up buying other things like toiletries, cleaning stuff, etc and it makes it more expensive.
Now, I only do one weekly shop at payday, then I just buy as and when I need stuff but that's not really practical as we're on a budget and when we haven't enough money then we're stuck lol.
What do you do?
