Exploring the Lemon Fool Community's Thought's on a Shared Source of Grocery Prices
Posted: November 3rd, 2022, 2:48 pm
Yesterday my good lady put me through a significant test. She's recently had a discectomy and can't carry anything. So muggings here I was more than happy to offer my help.
She took me to Lidl so we could buy dog food for the month. She had purchased some last month from Aldi which was cheaper and mistakenly thought she'd bought them from Lidl
.
Anyways the price was the same. £3.49 for 6 x 400g. We've not opened it yet to see if it's as good as the Lidl offer. The Lidl food looks far superior to the Morrisons we have been getting which has a large amount of gravy and jelly. Whilst we were there I reached deep into my jeans pocket and extracted my trusted mobile phone so I could use the calculator. Trust me
.
There were some larger tins 1240g at £1.49/each. A quick bit of maths and these worked out cheaper than buying the 6 packs.
Quality aside, but assuming it's reasonable, the cos of this dog food works out at £1.00 per day for two dogs. If we purchased from Morrisons the cost would be £1.50 per day.
That's a significant saving.
We've also reduced our dog biscuit bill but not as much.
Are there websites that do this sort of analysis? If not would some sort of "core" shopping list analysis benefit the community or would it turn into Pandora's Box?
