Welcome 🤍
We’re a family of six living in the far north of the Scottish Highlands, sharing our weekly food shopping hauls, real UK grocery prices, and what it actually costs to feed a large family in rural Scotland.
Living remotely means fewer shops, longer drives, and learning to be intentional with what we buy. Here you’ll find:
• Weekly grocery hauls (Tesco, Lidl & more)
• Real-life UK food costs
• Rural living in the Highlands
• Cost of living insights from remote Scotland
During the growing season, we also grow as much of our own food as we can — sharing our vegetable garden, simple seasonal growing, and how we preserve and use what we harvest here in the far north.
This channel is about real food, real prices, simple living, and feeding a family well — even in one of the most remote parts of the UK.

Highland Hauls - Rural Scotland
Living in the far north of Scotland, our food shopping options are pretty limited compared to most places.
We mainly shop at Lidl, with the occasional trip to Tesco, and sometimes a longer drive if we need something specific. It definitely makes you plan shops a bit differently when the nearest alternatives are quite far away!
It got me thinking how different food shopping must be depending on where you live.
So I’m curious… where do you mainly do your weekly food shop?
⬇️ Vote in the poll and let me know in the comments too.
I’d love to know:
• Which supermarket you shop at most
• Whether you have lots of options nearby or only a few
• And if you’re in another country — what your main supermarket is!
Food prices, availability, and choice seem to vary so much depending on location. It’s always fascinating comparing with you all. 🛒

Highland Hauls - Rural Scotland
I honestly didn’t expect this… but my first grocery haul has just passed 1,800 views.
Thank you so much for being here — especially those of you who’ve followed along from our life here in the Highlands 🤍
I’m really enjoying sharing more of the reality of feeding our family of six out here.
I’d love to know — what would you find most interesting to see next?
• Our full monthly food cost
• Budget food shop
• USA V Scotland comparison
• Or something else?
