    1. Two adults and two boys.

      Meals are:

      Meatball pasta bake

      Chicken wraps and salad

      Chicken Fried rice

      Baked potatoes

      Noodles

      Omlettes

      Both boys eat a lot of cereal, so the milk won’t last the week. Neither will the two loaves of bread.

      Four years ago, this would have cost about £80. So quite a price raise in the last few years.

    2. I would envy such organization. It’s difficult for me to plan a menu for the week, my wishes are constantly changing

    3. You could get roughly double this for the same price at Aldi.

      Source: I shop at Aldi weekly and get more than this for 5 people for about 90 quid

      Omg that is easily $300 usd in America. I miss being able to purchase food like this.

    5. wtf why is everything in plastic?? Celery.. in plastic… Carrots.. in plastic. Corn.. in plastic. Broccoli in plastic?!?! WHY?!?!

    6. For all Britain’s faults, their supermarket game is unparalleled. For less than I’d spend in the US at a budget store I can tear through the M&S Foodhall.

    7. All from Tesco too? I find this hard to believe for £130 but the picture doesn’t lie. Have you price compared with Aldi?

      Is it bad that I genuinely do not believe you when you say this costs £130, even after factoring in the conversion ratio to USD?

      I mean, maybe logically I can *almost* see it, but this is easily £185-225 where I’m at.

    9. Dumb question but is it normal in the UK that so much of the food has a British flag?, where i live you know where the products come from because of a label saying the country of origin but no big flags, at least not usually

      Do you guys get through that many cereal boxes a week? or did you just happen to like, top up on cereal that week?

      Also i remember when this was like £80 before covid 🙁

      Going for the Tesco tortilla at 99p and Tesco 2lr fizzy drinks at 80p would have reduced that a little bit plus getting generic pies instead of finest probably would save upto a £5
