Soldato
£35-40, that's for two people, we eat very well, cupboards and fridge freezer full, fresh fruit and veg, that also usually includes a bottle of wine or some nice ales, we cook a lot of our own food also.
We do a round trip once a week as all the stores are practically on our door step, rough estimate, Asda 20%, Sainsburys 10%, and Aldi 70%, Aldi helps keep the bill down a lot but I wouldn't like to live on produce from that store alone.
When it comes to shopping common sense usually prevails, try to stick to good offers, stock up on stuff that's going cheap even if you don't need it right away, and most importantly try out 'cheaper' products, they won't always taste amazing, but there are plenty out there that easily match the named brands, sometimes even better, don't just right off all cheap food, I like good quality food like anyone, experiment and get to know and understand different products out there, don't just trust a name or advertising.
This may sound odd coming from a vegetarian but don't forget about using your local butchers or deli counter, the good thing about them is you can order exactly the amount you require, no wastage, and often much better quality and usually only marginally more expensive, or less if your prone to wastage.
