Every time I hit the till I do that little internal wince like "how did it get to £80 again for basics?" Feels like no matter what I try, the bill just keeps climbing.
I've been trying to be smarter about it – meal planning a bit, avoiding impulse buys, but it's still not enough. Anyone cracked a system that actually drops the weekly shop noticeably without turning into a full-time job or eating beans on toast forever?

Yeah, I get that wince at the till feeling far too well. For me the biggest difference came when I started being a bit more deliberate without overcomplicating everything. Things like scribbling a rough meal outline for the week and sticking mostly to that list have helped loads, plus grabbing staples in bigger packs when the unit price makes sense. I've also got into checking what's actually cheaper per portion rather than just chasing yellow stickers. Someone shared this decent roundup ages back that lines up with what I've found useful in real life about 8 Tips and Tricks for Saving Money on Groceries and thus those advices feels fresh and decent for me, cause you know in our everyday life buying food with discount is kinda useful. Nothing earth-shattering, just practical stuff I've tested myself over the last few months. It's kept our bill noticeably lower without us missing out on decent dinners, which is the main win for me.

That sounds like a really practical approach — especially moving away from just chasing yellow stickers and actually doing the price-per-portion maths. I've definitely been caught out by "bargain" big packs that weren't worth it once divided up
