My weekly food shop budget is £20-£30 but a couple of months ago it was more like £10-£20 because I was really strapped for cash. I prefer to do my shopping at Morrisons as I personally think the food quality is better, but I will still shop at Aldi, especially if they have a cheaper version of food that Morrisons have. For example, smoked salmon or pastrami. In Aldi it’s also much easier to find essentials that you need.

🌺I mostly do major shopping on a monthly basis which is when I stock up on most everything and that costs me about 20-40 pounds depending on what I’m getting. However, I do sometimes get things like cheese and bread every other week/day. So, I’m a month, I’ll say I spend 30-50 pounds which puts me at roughly 10 pounds a week or so.
Also, I mostly shop at ALDI but I sometimes go to Morrisons too for things I can’t get at ALDI.
My weekly budget for groceries is around £20 and sometimes less or more depending on the store as well. If I get all what I needed from Aldi, then it comes under my budget and if I have to buy it from different stores such as Morrisons, then it could be little more, so it all depends on the store and products we buy. Monthly grocery shopping is manageable around £60 per month as well if done well for a student.
