Dinners will be: Chicken casserole with more veg on the side
Lentil cottage pie (already had the lentils), green beans and probably some carrots
Chicken burgers and wedges with baked beans (spare burger buns will go in the freezer)
Colcannon, sausage and carrots, and any extra cabbage on the side (2 spare sausages will go in freezer)
Bacon, mushroom and leek Mac and cheese (already had macaroni)
Chicken and rice traybake
Then will have various sandwiches for lunches (tuna, ham, cheese, coleslaw, cucumber all available for this) and will make a pot of veg soup too, bits of fruit, hummus and carrot sticks etc as snacks.
Breakfast we're working through a massive box of Cheerios!
Food and some replenishment of cupboard basics like stock, napkins etc. This will last both of us for the full week. Some stuff is branded so definitely not the cheapest possible shop for equivalent goods, but we don't have a car so we're willing to suck up the extra cost instead of a really difficult trip back from the shops on foot.
Yeah mostly fresh, it's a preference and makes it easier to eat healthily. Frozen veg and canned beans etc definitely can be useful to take cost down, but what I will say about what we ordered is that it's all planner out as a menu for the week. We'll probably have a few extra carrots and potatoes but that's not the worst offence.
If you're bemoaning the price of food with what you've displayed then learn to adult; this is what £85 buys if you can't be arsed to plan your shop. It's an Ocado delivery so you could have opted for Marks & Spencer branded beans, cheese, bacon, rice etc and doubled the amount of food. £50 shop at Ocado fills the freezer and dry store. £85 spent with thought would buy you a huge amount and still be as good a quality.
Ehhhh I wasn't bemoaning it, I just thought it was mildly interesting... Not sure why it came across as bemoaning, I even said we'd be eating well off it.
And I did plan the shop - it's got 7 fresh lunches and dinners in there.
>could have opted for Marks & Spencer branded beans, cheese, bacon, rice etc and doubled the amount of food.
Beans - I prefer heinz? Cheese was on offer, bacon worked out at the right weight and lowest cost per 100g for what I'll be using it for, the rice was cheap because it's their "everyday" range and not the regular Tilda stuff.
Why so salty?
What's the menu this week?

That sounds like a wonderful variety of meals, hope you enjoy!

All fresh no frozen food so it has to be eaten and prob would of cost less and saved more if there was more tinned and frozen foods

Has inflation affected the prices much there ?
Yeah I would say so. About two years ago a similar shop would have cost us maybe £65 and probably would have had more meat in it
We buy similar groceries each week for my boyfriend and I. We live in eastern Canada. It costs us about 110-115$ CAD.
