I thoughtI would show you my shopping from last weekend.
I am interested to compare the prices you pay around the world, so I hope you are too.
I do most of my shopping in LIDL but I always look for reductions on meat in the large supermarkets. I often buy shin beef at 30% or 50% off, great in the slow cooker, and in LIDL they also reduce their meat by 30% as it comes to the sell by date.
I looked at the exchange rates today so you can do the calculations
€ to the £ = 0.8775
€ to the US$ = 1.4275
€to the NZ$ = 1.813
€ to the Aus€ = 1.3575
Here is some of what I bought
:
Dove Cream soap - 2 bars 1.39€
Fabric softener - 1.29€
Plain Flour - 0.35€
Eggs 12 - 0.95€
Single cream x 3 20ml - 1.29€
Butter 500g - 2.39€
Cooking chocolate - 0.65€
Vine tomatoes large - 1.79€ kg
Bananas - 1.25€kg
Tuna in oil - 0.99€
Cucumber - 0.49€
Chicken escalopes 400g - 3.19€
I would be interested to hear how your prices compare to these.
I dont often shop in our Lidl as it isnt a very nice one. But I do buy their binbags and their floor cleaner which is usually cheaper than supermarche.
ReplyDeleteI am horrified by the recent kikes in food prices in France. Coffee has just shot up an extra 50 cts.
I agree with you about the coffee. We don't drink it at home but I buy it for the office and I could not believe how much it had gone up in the last few months. I have now changed to the cheaper version. I hope our clients don't notice!!

I have a special shop near me - I think ive told you about it before. They buy supermarkets overstock etc and it is really cheap. I'll show you my bill next time I go, but last week I bought huge bunches of Fairtrade Bananas for 19p and Mangoes 10p!!!!! It really helps with the household budget. x
