It’s nothing you are doing wrong Julie its just prices are rising and people can tell the difference now. Only advice would be try Aldi and Lidl and also substitute branded for supermarket own brand where you can. Don’t shop when hungry either. Take care.
Agree! Also cooking instead of premade. Mac n cheese and mash potatoes made yourself is much cheaper than premade, and you get more bang for your buck. It also doesn't take long. Jamie Oliver has some lovely easy recipes. Julie, ready steady COOK!
Well the answer is : plenty of ready meals (mac and cheese, curry etc), or already pre-made things such meat balls, sweet potato vedges etc. I can do all what you bought for £50 as I prepare the meals myself.
@@michellescowby6599 she’s home all day, Atticus is at school and her ‘job’ really isn’t that time consuming or hard trust me. There’s no excuse to not do some meals from scratch.
@@michellescowby6599 how is that a judgemental comment?! Julie asked where she is going wrong and this person said it that you can prepare a lot of meals yourself.
@@hahacurrymuncher4551 i never said it's easy and I'm sorry about that but Atticus is not young and anas already moved out so she can atleast try like making pasta or somethin at hone is not that hard she could atleast try and ik it's not easy
i would suggest cooking your own meals rather than buying, readymeal also maybe try some of the non branded stuff, it can taste just as good depends what you buy, also keep the bottles of water and refill from the tap rather than buy again :) good vlog xx
Your shop would cost a lot less if you cooked your own meals rather than buying ready meals. It's quite easy and cheap to make macaroni cheese and a curry. And it would save you money to make your own wedges and mash rather than buying everything ready made and prepared.
How is this weekly shop?, I didn’t see any meats of fish for meals.a weekly shop should consist for meats or veg of fish where you can make your own meals! More cleaning products seem to be bought then food
It’s not the bottle that the problem I can’t drink tap water as I have an allergy to some of the chemicals in water so have to drink bottled if I could get bottled water in reusable bottles that would be amazing maybe it’s something for waters bottles company’s to think about
I must admit we had been shopping in sainsburys but found the prices going up. Now we shop weekly at Aldi and spend between £65-£70 with a few extras like milk and bread in the week. We have noticed that we are keeping costs down. I also go through the freezer each week to see what we can use which helps. Love your vlogs each week xx
Loved your latest video Julie, you were so funny on about the wind 😂 my food shop is ridiculous too, there’s just myself and teenage daughter and I probably spend roughly £100 to £150 each week, very rare it’s under £100, hope you are feeling better x
I spend £25 a week for me and my son. I yellow sticker shop on an evening and freeze different meats and buy a lot of my fruit & veg on yellow sticker as long as it looks good. I shop at Aldi & Lidl for the rest x
Just me and my boyfriend we spend about £70 a week which is an awful lot but that includes everything including our lunch we make for work which works out cheaper too. Loved this vlog Julie, hope ur feeling better now❤️🔥
Me and my partner do a big food shop once a week in Aldi and its usually about £70. Food is going up, along with everything but we have noticed it is going up. I remember when we first moved into our house nearly two years ago and our weekly food shop was about £50! I don't use Liz Earle, but that scent sounds lovely!x
Me n my hubby and teenage son we spent about £130 a week definitely gone up by 20-30 a week and like u run out of stuff, n end up spending extra on stuff once In the shop. Love your food hauls. Your vlogs are so relatable and easy to watch please keep us updated with them as much as possible, u really are my fav you tuber at the moment. XX
You should try a reusable water bottle for atticus- would save money plus less plastic waste as well!! But agreed cost of everything is going up so much
Yes food shopping has gone up I tend to shop at Sainsbury’s for my branded stuff but also at Aldi‘s for fruit and veg try and keep out of the middle aisle! I think your shopping is so expensive because you are buying a lot of ready meals e.g. mash potato you can do that yourself so much cheaper and home-made curries, macaroni cheese, meatballs etc for a fraction of the price that they sell them at Plus you can bulk them out with things like lentils and plenty of veg. Love your wax melt burner. New to your channel and enjoying your vlogs
Atticus is such a clever boy learning and collecting different things, he’s a real credit to you Julie. Please let us know in your Sunday clean what the new zoflora smells like it sounds lovely xxxxx
Absolutely love watching your videos ❤️ I’d also love to know where u got your gorgeous tea light warmer too at the end of your video 💕 love to you both x
For 3 of is i usually pay just over a hundred pounds and a bit more during the week if i need to top up milk etc at Lidl. I do 2 packed lunches daily out of it too.
Julie you'd save so much money if you made youre meals from scratch. For £80 that's not much food and tap water is cheaper to drink as you already pay in advance for that 🙈
I always meal plan for the week and write down what we food we will need for our lunches and Tea, a few snacks etc for the week and toiletries. I do it online as I’ve found I’m not throwing in things we don’t need. I usually spend between £60-£80 a week. This way I find we don’t have much waste either. This is for a family of three using the Morrison’s shopping app on Amazon prime x
Hey hey! Just wanted to let you know about your coffee machine milk nozzle if you hold it from the silver rim and pull down it should extend. I have a similar machine and it can extend a fair amount so milk doesn’t splatter. Hope it helps!
In regards to the food shop, there didn't seem enough food for £80. I suggest this is what i do, shop at Aldi trust me it is life changing, then certain bits that Aldi don't do go to Tesco's or Sainsbury's or Asda. Don't do all your shop in one supermarket. And also try and buy things in bulk so for the mash potatoe buy a bag of potatoes that you can use up doing different things with same with the sweet potato. Sometimes the prepared things are more expensive, don't always go for branded things either. Instead of having two different milks just have one. And plan what your cooking each night, cook from scratch, save some and put in the freezer for another meal. Don't buy water, it's a waste of money, just use the tap especially if you're at home. But trust me Aldi is brilliant for prices! Give it a try and do a video and show us what you've bought.
i spend a ridiculous amount of food shopping recently, i think everyone is having the same problem & the vaccines also knocked me about 😩 i’m loving your content Julie! your videos always relax me 😌 by the way, i’m not sure whether you noticed, but Atticus’ school badge was shown for a bit- just to make you aware ☺️ xx
Family of four,we meal plan and shopping list of everything and still £110 in tesco.my shopping used to be £85 ish ,really gone up and I make meals from scratch,and I buy the same stuff as before,everything has gone up x
I spend £100 a week for all food cleaning products, dog foods/ treats and toiletries 4 people in house. I do shop in aldi and don’t buy brands to be honest. Only because I am having a lot of work being done to the house/ garden at the moment so watching the pennies 😀 x
I have started going to aldi as I was going morrisons and was spending over £150 for 5. At aldi with lots of fresh fruit, veg and salad etc. I can do a full shop for teas and pack ups for under £100. Hope you are feeling better
We are a family of 3 with a pooch and 2 guinea pigs.. our food shops monthly gone from 300 a month to almost 370 with how much everything has gone up.. this includes all household products too. We shop at aldi/ iceland x
We use gusto each week for 30 pound, and then aldi for milk bread butter etc but sainsbury's for baby milk! Aldi nappies and wipes are the best! Make use of tesco club card it's great also
Your so right Julie where does the money go and shopping is getting so expensive. I must try and get that Zoflora it sounds delish. You must try the Liz Earle Instant Skin Boost Tonic the smell is devine. Hope you feel better soon 😘😘
I live in australia and the prices are going up here too ! I almost fell over when l saw the total from my last food shop!! Also l felt similar after my second jab for me it's only lasted a few days and mostly l felt it towards the afternoon... my dad however didn't feel ill at all but he was exhausted for two weeks...
I live with my 2 kids, 4&9 and I spend maximum £40 a week on food shopping. All homemade and a frozen meal (pizza and chips) or something for a treat day rather than a takeaway.
Hi Julie, hope you're feeling better now. I know exactly what you're feeling after the 2nd vaccine. I was fine with the 1st and thought it was a doddle getting the 2nd as a neighbour of mine said he had no symptoms but his wife had top and bottom symptoms lol. I just felt nauseous. 3rd vaccine I was top and bottom and asking myself why did I have it!! But it only lasted a day, I've heard other people have unfortunately been bedbound for a week or more so I was pretty lucky. I hope you're OK when you have the booster! Have to say your a trooper because a lot of people would have ordered takeaways until they felt better but you cooked! Luckily for my husband and myself, our son ordered us food, unfortunately we couldn't eat it so it worked out perfectly for him 🙃. Anyway, take care and stay strong. Let us know how you're feeling 😊
I live alone and usually spend around 30-40£ weekly on food - I eat quite carefully so sometimes choose more expensive options but live in accommodation that has a cleaner so don't pay for cleaning supplies/toilet rolls etc :) I also dont have a car so often have to buy from Sainsbury's/tesco local, which are often pricier than the big stores!
There are two of us at home and we spend on average about £95pw on groceries, that said, I do have a habit of stock piling things so it would be less in essence, and I also tend to not look at prices until I am half way around - but that does get a full weeks worth of meals, veggies, fruit and other non essentials that I may randomly throw in and hoard, so not too shabby. Sorry to see you're not feeling well - I was exactly the same after the first one, it really knocked me sideways for five weeks, I had never felt so ill and the cough that developed was horrendous, had xrays the lot as couldn't understand why I was feeling so ill, needless to say it frightened me for the second one. Hope you feel better soon though. xo
I do my main shop at asda, for 3 adults it averages £50 a week in asda and then I pick up some bits in b&m and home bargains probably around £30 combined but some weeks a lot less (if I don't need cleaning products or toiletries etc that week)
Oh god we spent a fortune! I had to stop doing a weekly food shop. I was going and then thing where going off and I was always wasting food Now I go twice a week and plan what we’re having. So I plan four lunches and four dinners and a cereal or yogurt and fruits breakfasts. I don’t browse the shop I go for what I’m getting and get out Gone from spending £150 pw on shopping to about £60
Hi Julie loved your vlog. Oh I agree good shop has gone up alot. I shop at Tesco's foe our weekly shop for 2 I would spend £ 150/ £200 without topping up in the week. Some times lower but found it's gone up by £50 😧 I've tried Aldi before loads of times but all tho it's a lot cheaper..found there fruit..veg..salad stuff including bread went off after 3 days and was throwing away alot. Plus also wasn't as fresh unless you eat them within 2 days. But that's down to you weather you try other places but I'm long run Tesco suits us. I think your hair looks amazing by the way suits you. Thanks for a lovely updated vlog I do watch and try and comment in all your videos Julie...I do hope your feeling alot better now. Much love x x x ❤
Hi Juile I ship in aldi for me and my 11 year old and spend about 70- 80 a week depends I I need loo roll washing stuff etc. and that’s me buying everything we live like steak and mince and fresh chicken. I did a saimsburys shop the other week as I needed it delivered and spent about 120 which was a one off me. I do nip in daimsbirys for certain things we like like branded beams extra bread and milk maybe. But I do shop less with planing my meals and I do buy a lot of snacks for school and my child eats a lot growing boy. Aldi deffo helps save the pennies and I like it x
Me and my partner shop at Aldi, we spend roughly £40-£60 a week on our food a week and get odd bits from like Tesco if we can’t find from Aldi so roughly £40-£60 😌 love the video! ❤️
I was spending on average £60 a week for 2 adults and this went up if we bought wine etc and for a few top ups in the week. But i have been using hello fresh now and i find I'm probably spending the same as i don't need as much meat etc for dinners. Just lunch stuff and breakfast :)
I understand why your shopping is so much now. Because you buy the pre done stuff. I buy everything from scratch and make it myself. We are a family of 5 and a cat. I do my shopping in tesco and we spend £100 on average every week. That includes cat bits, cleaning products, personal bits, etc.
I think you’re finding your food shopping expensive because you’re actually buying a lot of the more “expensive” products, you’re picking up finest products, the quicker options of meals but actually they’re alot more expensive x
We used to shop at Tesco and for me and my husband would spend about £70-80 a week. Now we shop at Aldi and get all the same things for just £45-50 a week!
Hi julie..the prices are hiking up in the supermarket..I'm spending at least another extra £20 a week..and that's just for me and hubby..liz hurle was a good saving...hope you feel better this weekend xx 😊 👍
I’ve found the food shop seems to be more expensive lately. There’s only me and my 17 year old daughter so I find I’m doing smaller shops more often because she’s out a lot so don’t want to buy too much in one go and then it goes off. I think that’s a definitely more expensive way of shopping though, seems I spend around £50 up to 3 times a week lately
@@sunshining_inthe_hebrides4030 yeah I need to take another look at my spending and maybe buy meat and freeze it as I’m definitely over spending right now
@@me-pn5lu I try to spend £75 a week for me n my husband. I work for a supermarket so I get 10% off from that, but I probably spend £100 plus and my husband has his main meal at work!!! X
Yes food prices have gone up a lot. I don't notice it until I've piled it all through. Be careful about energy prices as well. Mine are going up 54% in April.
Loved this so much ;/) fabulous content (hoping you don't get copyrighted cause of the music at the start was. Felt like I was screaming turn it down ) love dresses 👗 maybe one video you could let A&A pick up a outfit or your one of them and your mam extra be fun I love your style , maybe a look book video Also food shopping is so much lately I been using to good to go app to get magic bags to spread the coast
I think that Tesco is expensive… I go to Aldi and Morrisons and get cleaning bits from Home Bargains. I spend about £45 on food for 2 people with cleaning about £10 depending on what we need x
£35-40 a week I spend but I mainly eat lots of salad fruit and pasta and I buy everything own brand from asda I also buy lots of baby food for my little one
We are a family of four still 1 child at home all week i go to aldi and then morrisons for the things u cant get at aldi. Its been £10 dearer in aldi and morrisons is always about £20-£30 not much change form £100
I spend £70/£80 per week (Tesco) for family of 4.. usually have to get a couple of essentials throughout the week but probably no more than £100 a week all together x
normally we go to Morrisons and we aim to go really only once a week, but these past couple of moths we've been going about three times! And like you Julie its like £80 a time and I don't know why its so expensive?? x
I have a family of 6 we mostly shop at Aldi my son is autistic so he will only eat most of the Aldi brands but for us we spends between £100 and £150 a week that includes a top up shop of milk bread and anything we may need xx
Family of 4 and I spend £100 on the big shop and then often another £50 at the weekend but that include alcohol/cleaning stuff etc but have noticed massive increase in price of things even at Asda. Where did you get the wax melt stand from Julie please?
