A RATHER LARGE ASDA FOOD SHOPPING HAUL | OVER £200 | INC MEAL PLAN/IDEAS FOR THE WEEK | LARGE UK FAMILY

Introduction

Hey everyone! It’s Rosie here. Today, I have quite an extensive ASDA haul to share with you all. Our large UK family demands a plethora of things, so I thought it’d be a great idea to take you along on this journey of meal planning, budgeting, and grocery shopping. Moreover, your feedback and engagement through the comments and likes mean the world to me.

Drying Wind and Clean Clothes

One great start to the day is having a windy, sunny weather perfect for drying clothes. Whoever enjoys fresh laundry wouldn’t just cheer for the savings in energy from not using the dryer!

Shopping Overview

With seven children at home (and one older son), family meals call for well-thought-out planning. Heading to ASDA early helps avoid the crowd, especially during the summer holidays.

Reflecting on Budget

While I spent around £221, I noticed discrepancies in the price reductions marked in-store and on receipt. Nevertheless, early shopping under a strict plan helped save time and money, making the family’s weekly food journey smooth.

Community Connection

I encourage everyone to drop by in the comments, give a thumbs up, share thoughts or feedback, and connect on Instagram! Let’s talk meal ideas, budgeting tips, and how everyone’s summer holidays are shaping up.

Closing Thoughts

In signing off, I will be getting out soon to embrace the weather, perhaps head to Keswick in the Lake District with the family, and savor a beautiful outing. Sending love, thoughts, and prayers to those affected by recent events in Southport- you are in our hearts. Cherish the moments, stay safe, lots of love, and I’ll catch you all in the next video.
