The Grand Experiment, Week Four

The fourth and final week at Tesco. Next week, I'm off to Morrisons for a month.

  • Shredded Wheat (30), £2.32
  • Kitchen Roll (8), £5.67 (not counted)
  • Aluminium Foil (40m), £3.48 (not counted)
  • Yoghurt (12), £5
  • Cooked Turkey, £1.80
  • Soup (4 tins), £2
  • Cauliflower, £0.80
  • Mustard Seeds, £0.68
  • Milk (4 pints), £1.72
  • Fruit Juice (2 litres), £2
  • Mouthwash, blue (2), £3
  • Potatoes (2), £1.09
  • Apples (8), £2.69
  • Lettuce Hearts (2), £1.48
  • Green Chillies, £0.49
  • Almonds (300g), £2.99
  • Tomatoes (6), £0.88
  • Red Onions (2), £0.32
  • Onion, £0.20
  • Limes (4), £1.32
  • Carrots (2), £0.32

There was nothing on the list that I didn't get, and neither was there anything that I bought that wasn't on the list. The total for this week was £40.25. I'm discounting the kitchen roll and aluminium foil, as these will probably last at least several months, and also one of the bottles of mouthwash, which was on offer. So, that drops the week's total to £29.40, and brings the total for the month at Tesco to £123.36. Looking back at the list, I think this represents a reasonably fair list of purchases for the month.

It will be interesting to see how Morrisons get on.
