Join us for our big monthly supermarket haul as we stock up on food and household essentials while living a frugal life in France. We carefully plan our shopping, compare prices, and look for the very best bargains to stretch our budget as far as possible. This monthly shop tops up our pantry, freezer and cupboards, helping us avoid expensive impulse purchases throughout the month. If you're looking for practical money-saving tips, budget shopping ideas, and realistic frugal living inspiration, come along and see exactly what we bought, how much we spent, and how we're making our budget work in 2026.
