What Does Your Weekly Grocery Shop Look Like?

White bread, caged eggs, bananas? Or lobsters, wagyu steaks, and truffle? I'd love to see a list from OzBargainers what their weekly grocery shop looks like.

    go outside to your local grocery store and survey yourself

        OzB hoodies

  • White bread, 1500 hens per hectare eggs, bananas, mince. No seafood
    .

    • Yeah, you don't want seafood, but I add brown nashi pears

    The Helga's style rye bread, a shit tonne of eggs, milk, carrots, umm other stuff. I eat the same things over and over for months until I get sick of it. Chicken salad sandwiches at the moment. I don't like planning meals or even spending time deciding what to eat, want something quick and easy. I'd eat Soylent Green if they sold it in cracker form like the movie.

    "weekly grocery shop looks like"
    It's on a strip of paper about 7cm wide, and length depends on what I have purchased.

    i work at a shop,
    people only buy eggs

  • I'm pretty opportunistic right now.
    Home brand at Colesworth for coffee, milk, Greek yogurt, free range eggs, rolled oats, tinned chickpeas and tomatoes.
    Peanut butter, tofu, tempeh. Bread, cheese occasionally.
    Fruit and veg from HFM but specials or imperfect picks.
    The fish market once a fortnight.

  • Weekly shop at Flemington where we get veggies, fruit for insane cheap prices then during the week for incidentals and meats at aldi

    • Where do you get coffee?

      • Local cafe that I like the beans from. Buy by the kg and grind at home to use in my machine.

        • +1

          Cheap meat and veggies, so you can pay top price for addiction. User name checks out. 🤣

          • @RockyRaccoon: I spend probably 1/3 for better quality veggies at Flemington than Coles worth.

            But yes. Less on food means more on the good brown stuff

    Purely depends on whats marked down. Todays dinner is chicken. https://files.ozbargain.com.au/upload/29438/105316/screensho…

  • half a doz bottles of cristal and a couple of tins of beluga

    Depends on what coles has on special each night. whatever special they got I just take that and call it day/night.
    Repeat the next day

    • You shop at Coles 7 nights a week?

      • not always But i try to, recently in past havent been able to go there. Weekends are usually less successful so dont bother going much on weekends

  • Since its been cold I've turned to crumpets over bread, pasta, mushrooms, eggs, bacon, potatoes, a roast chook for sandwiches and then soup, cashews, cheese(usually parmesan)sometimes, beef mince, bananas, mandarins, frozen fish portions(whatever is on sale)

  • Fruit/Veg/Herbs etc directly from the farmer

    Anything that's in season and anything that's on special! I can't believe how much my grocery bill has gone up in the last year. I don't buy anything extravagant, but it goes up every week. Anyone else feeling the same pressure in their weekly shop?

    • YES!

      first it was the drought, then it was the flood, then it was covid.. now it's inflation. My bill from 6 years go was half what it is now.

      Buy ugly fruit and veg if you want cheaper but don't buy imports and buy in season

      OJ? waste of money as it is diluted.
