Ah yes and I had unfortunately no bag and have put with ne bag for 0.75 € on the belt...
With our purchase costs (2 adults, 1 child) we make for now 6 weeks straight each week compared to the planned budget minus. And we have, especially through me (call me Sheldon) a shopping routine that is very on routine and repetition.
And there it shows clearly that everything becomes more expensive virtually even weekly.
I have now started for us the challenge that we from now on only on 2 days our habits, and for 5 of 7 days only offers and explicitly, except for meat (organic) and fresh vegetables, only buy according to offers.
And every day, so that every day we buy only according to need.
So a weekly shopping, where you might also buy unnecessary things, is then definitely more expensive than a daily shopping. I think.
Is a lot of effort, but I have the hope that this brings an improvement in the numbers.
We will try it out.
I will report in 4 weeks how the costs have developed.

Sure everything is more expensive, but that's not why I do without ! If hunger for chips or meat then it is bought and basta!
Because now your contribution was directly after mine, I ask carefully whether you have written that in general, or on me.
If general -> you're right.
My Zock budget is separated at the beginning of the year and has NEVER influence on food / other costs. So if I want to buy cheaper now is not because the budget is missing through gambling, but simply because the purchases are too expensive.

With our grocery costs (2 adults, 1 child), we've been making minus every week for 6 weeks straight now compared to our planned budget. And we have, especially through me (call me Sheldon) a shopping routine that is very much on routine and repetition.

I report then times in 4 weeks, how the costs have developed.
Do you have through daily shopping but then not automatically higher costs in eg. fuel? Then still your time in addition?
Do you have by daily shopping but then not automatically higher costs in zb. fuel ? Then your time in addition ?
It also depends on where you live.I live in a big city.Here I have within a radius of 1-2 KM Lidl, Aldi, Netto, Kaufland and Edeka.2 districts further is also Penny and Rewe.Since one has not so high travel costs as for example in rural areas

Also, you can combine the trip to or from work with shopping to not have to make an extra trip. So I do that for the most part.
Have night shift and then go shopping in the morning directly afterwards at 7 o'clock.

Of course on the general public!
Everyone must set priorities for themselves!
Is clear that I would not pay 3 € for ne cucumber, but if the bag of potatoes 4 instead of 3 costs it can not be changed!
My buying behavior changes nothing, yes I know if all .... then ...
But so it is not, and therefore I eat what I feel like and what I can afford !

No, on foot or on the way back from work all supermarkets quickly accessible.
But yes, time expenditure of course significantly higher. Maybe we also do so 1-2 days. But just no weekly shopping.
